LEGO Osprey ( Pandion Haliaetus )

Welcome, I want to introduce you to my LEGO set of the osprey.

As I have already written, I am a nature photographer as a hobby and these days I am proposing here some sets that concern wild animals. Another wonderful subject that during the migration period passes and stops here on Lake Iseo is the osprey. A very elegant bird of prey, yellow eyes and white plumage on the lower part, brown above the wings. As the name suggests, it feeds on fish that thanks to its long claws and sharp eyesight, it captures with spectacular dives into the water. After the dive it takes flight again with the prey in its claws and flies towards the nest or perch to eat it in peace.

What is it?

A display for your home or office with this decorative set for nature enthusiasts.

The LEGO Osprey set makes a great gift for bird lovers and an engaging project for LEGO builders,

beginners and experts alike. The Osprey model depicts the bird, known for its fishing prowess,

holding a freshly caught black bass in its paws. Position the bird’s head, wings and talons to create your favorite pose before putting it on display for all to see.

Why I built it?

I built this set because it doesn't exist in the Lego set collection.

I built it because it seems to me to represent Osprey well.

I built it for all nature lovers, photographers and birdwatchers.

I think it would be a fantastic LEGO set for nature lovers, birdwatchers and wildlife photographers who would like to display it in their home, but it could also be a fantastic toy for children to fly the hawk in their living room.

The set includes the osprey and its prey the black bass (Micropterus salmoides).The peculiarity of this model are the wings that I built in such a way that they can be closed and opened just like the wings of a hawk. The model can remain balanced on two legs and rest its tail on the ground. For all other positions we obviously need to add supports both for the body and to hold the wings open in a given position, although some wing positions could self-support.

The set consists of 1200 pieces (930 hawk, 270 black bass)

Dimensions: L, W, H

pin 26, 40, 45

inches 8.4, 12, 14

centimeters 21, 32, 36

wingspan is pin 102, inches 32, centimeters 82

I am very happy to have a set like this, if you like it too please vote!

Thanks
