The Australasian osprey is an incredible bird of prey. It is the only raptor that can fully submerge itself in the ocean to catch its prey. Flying from heights as high as 40m the osprey dives headfirst and talon-first into the water.
Ospreys have reversible talons which a the genetic design only shared by their own species, as well as owls.
These photos were captured at Long Reef headland on Sydney‘s Northern beaches.
