Osprey’s are a large bird of prey
that can be found in several locations all over the world.
They can tolerate a large range of habitats providing there is
sufficient water and fish supply near-by. Ospreys
or more specifically Western Osprey's (Pandion Haliaetus), will migrate south to Africa during the winter often stopping
to feed for several weeks in locations across southern Europe.
It is a
large fish-eating large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm in
length and 180 cm across the wings. It is brown on the
upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head with white
underparts. It possesses specialised physical characteristics
and exhibits unique behaviour to assist in hunting and
catching prey. As a result of these unique characteristics, it
has been given its own taxonomic genus and behaves unlike any
other bird of prey.

was taken close to Rutland water (Horn Mill Osprey Hide),
where the population has risen steadily since the birds were
reintroduced to the area in the 1990s. Historically,ospreys
were widespread throughout the UK, but were driven to
extinction by man. The Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust
(LRWT) and Anglian Water worked together to instigate a
reintroduction project to bring the osprey back to England.
