Ospreys are very large, distinctively shaped raptor. Despite their size, their bodies are slender, with long, narrow wings and long legs.
Ospreys search for fish by flying on steady wing beats and bowed wings or circling high in the sky over relatively shallow water.
They often hover briefly before diving, feet first, to grab a fish.

Beautiful shot of the Osprey. FYI, Ospreys are not hawks. They are a species of raptor that is distinct from Hawks, Eagles, Owls, and Falcons etc.
