There are a pair of Ospreys nesting in the Hyde Park area. Usually one sees them flying around the water searching for fish. I have been observing the Ospreys since Spring. I find them a fascinating raptor. The claws on this bird is something else! They search for fish by flying on steady wing beats and bowed wings or circling high over the water. They hover briefly before diving feet first to grab a fish.
This Osprey was eating a fish on top of a hydro pole when I arrived. I parked at the other side to see the Osprey from front. The fish was much bigger than I thought!
The pair are in the tree, one up above and the other lower in the tree beside the pond.
