Australian Osprey
Pandion cristatus (Vieillot, LJP 1816)
The eastern osprey is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey. They live in Oceania at coastal regions of the Australian continent, the Indonesian islands, New Guinea, and the Philippines. It is usually sedentary and pairs breed at the same nest site, building up a substantial structure on dead trees or limbs. The species resides in habitat close to coasts and estuaries that provide opportunities for fishing. Source: Wikipedia
