from channel description: On this channel you will find bird nests and feeders with webcams. You can see how different species of birds lay their eggs and how the hatchlings are growing up. Of course, the most exciting moments can be seen in the breeding season, but broadcasting is not interrupted in winter, as some of the birds are using the nesting boxes as a nightly or daily shelter. In winter we are broadcasting from bird feeders too.
This is one of those 'first' photos. Its not great, the bird was far to far away, but it is my first ever image of an Osprey. Next time I see one it will be better. Promise.
They are very vocal with each other and have one of the more pleasant calls for #birdsofprey. I can sometimes get them to respond to my whistled attempts to "talk to them". 🙂
Other fun facts… They only eat fresh fish which they catch themselves.
They have a special wing structure that allows them to plunge feet first into the water without hurting themselves, and special reversible toes to help them hold wriggling fish.
#BaldEagles (those perennial bullies) frequently shake-down Ospreys in the air to get them to give up the fish they just caught. I've witnessed this more than once!
