Osprey

Pandion haliaetus

Photographed at: Bhadra, Karnataka on 2026-06-06

Album: River Terns Of Bhadra

Taxonomists are a little confused about the placement of this species. I'm going here with one of the schemes that places Ospreys as the only member of the Pandionidae family. Ospreys are incredibly successful fish-eating raptors colonizing all the continents, save Antarctica.

Family: Pandionidae
