Nesser El Samak Sorry, I have no picture of an osprey. Is almost only heard in the breeding season, where it is 'pjieb-pjieb'. Still endangered in the mediterranean. The population has probably been declining since the late 18th century, when raptors became vermin. The osprey became extinct in several regions of Europe, including Denmark, the british isles, Germany and central europe during the 19th and early 20th century.
European ospreys spend the winter in Africa.
In Scandinavia migration starts in the middle of august. Everywhere with plenty of mediumsized fish near the surface of clear unpoluted water. In the westpalearctic it spends its breeding season in woods near lakes, slow-flowing rivers or coasts. Mediterranean ospreys stay by the coasts. As the individual ospreys become strongly imprinted on their habitat, they are mostly monogamous.
