Ospreys are unusual among raptors for being piscivores. Their diet consists almost exclusively of fish. They are generally opportunistic, and will eat whatever fish species are accessible to them – either in shallow waters, or near the surface of deeper waters. They hunt for fish on the wing (less often from a perch), flapping and gliding 10 to 40 meters above the water.

Another lovely shot Byron. Those Ospreys must have adopted you by now.
I think it’s more that I’ve adopted them … however they do appear to know me and sometimes play ‘games’ with me!
