The Osprey, scientifically known as Pandion haliaetus, is a bird of prey and belongs to its own monotypic family Pandionidae due to unique characteristics. Although the Osprey is distributed almost worldwide, it is also found in Central Europe. It should be noted that the Osprey does not belong to the true eagles. Ospreys are slender, medium-sized raptors with long wings. They are known for their ability to catch fish, which they hunt from lakes, rivers, and coastal waters. Ospreys have a distinctive appearance with their white head, brownish upperparts, and white underparts with dark spots. They also have striking yellow eyes and powerful talons to grasp their prey. Ospreys build large nests of sticks and twigs in tall trees or on rocky outcrops near water bodies. They are migratory birds and spend the winter in warmer regions before returning to their breeding grounds in spring.
