The Osprey is one of the world's best known and admired birds of prey. It can be found nearly worldwide, feeding almost exclusively on live fish which it snatches from the water after dramatic plunges. Osprey populations were threatened in the 1950s and 60s as pesticide contamination reduced egg viability. Since the early 1970s, when populations had decreased by about 50%, conservation efforts have resulted in regained breeding strength and numbers. Read more about these birds on the About Ospreys page.
