| Comment | Previously, the globally occurring Osprey had four subspecies recognised worldwide. However, recent studies have identified but two species of Osprey: the Western Osprey (Pandion halietus) with three subspecies found in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and the Eastern Osprey (P. cristatus) occurring between Indonesia, Australia and New Caledonia. Eastern Ospreys are found right around the Australian coast line, except for Victoria and Tasmania. They are common around the WA coastline, especially at rocky shorelines, islands and reefs. The species is uncommon in closely settled parts of south-eastern Australia, and there are but a handful of records from inland areas. A breeding pair of osprey will re-use the same nest year after year, and these nests may become huge in time. The Eastern Osprey primarily feeds on fish, which it most often snatches from the water, talons stretched forward; however it will take birds, lizards and carrion. Nairns, Coodanup; GPS. Status: Least Concern [Moderator's note: adult female identified by the buff feathers forming the 'necklace'. The adult male has all white underparts. (IJW)] | ||||||||||||||||||
