Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
French: Balbuzard pêcheur
German: Fischadler
Spanish: Aguila Pescadora
Other common names: Fish Hawk
Sometimes included within family Accipitridae, but usually in its own subfamily, Pandioninae. Race melvillensis often applied to birds from Indonesia to N Australia, but probably not valid; similar to cristatus. Four subspecies currently recognized.
Very nice image! Seny, it would greatly help viewers if you alsomention the location where your beautiful bird images were shot and also if you do not mind technical details like f stop, shutter speed, focal length, camera, etc.
ReplyDelete@Rambler.. It is taken from Alleppey backwaters.
ReplyDeleteCamera is 450D Canon. I will consider about shutter speed and other details on next upload.
