Many may find the inclusion of the Osprey into a post on German eagles odd, but the German name of the Osprey translates to “Fish Eagle”, and German birders would find it self-evident to include the species here. So here they are, the German eagles… Osprey. Ospreys have shown a remarkable recovery in Germany.
