Description: | Call of an osprey, possibly a juvenile, recorded in the Scottish Highlands. The short ‘tchip tchip tchip’ call of the osprey can be heard across the Scottish Highlands from spring through to late summer. Arriving from African wintering grounds, this bird of prey prefers Scots pine forests, lochs and rivers where it can hunt for fish. Brown upperparts contrast well with the snowy white underparts and brown-white striped wings and tail, making ospreys one of the easiest birds of prey to identify. Driven to the verge of extinction through hunting and egg collecting, ospreys have now begun to recover thanks to conservation efforts and are starting to recolonise areas of England as well as extend their range through Scotland. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Woodland Bird Wildlife sounds Freshwater | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Shove, Lawrence | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
