Description
Two ospreys on the top of Araucaria heterophylla tree - know as: Norfolk Island pine, star pine, triangle tree, living Christmas tree.
The Osprey sometimes known as the sea hawk, fish eagle or fish hawk, is a fish-eating bird of prey. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts, with a black eye patch and wings.
The Osprey nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant.
As its other common name suggests, the Osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of fish.
