Whom more have we seen in the osprey webcam?

The hobby that the osprey female watches when it flies past is among our most common falcons. They can be seen in summer in open landscapes where they catch flying insects and dragonflies. They mostly make their nests in pine forests, particularly in pine forests on dunes where they use old crow nests, and there are more than five hundred breeders in our nature.

The plumages of the adults are similar; their characteristic sign are the orange trousers in the flight view, which the young birds do not have. The face has a black mask, the flight is rapid and causes panic among passerines since they are capable of hitting small birds in the air. In photos we notice the characteristic strongly striped underside. Body length more than 30 centimetres. Wing reach three-quarters of a metre and weight two hundred to three hundred  grams.
