Minsmere - Marsh Harriers
While I was waiting for Bitterns, there were usually several marsh harriers floating over the reeds. Here is one from a dawn start one morning, quartering over the reeds in the mist before the sun had risen.

Particularly like the top one. They are really difficult because they never seem to come near enough at Minsmere. Go and sit up Gypsy lane next time see if you get some luck.
ReplyDeleteLove the new header BUT push the print a tad higher so it doesn't go straight through the Bittern head!!!
Hope the revision isn't totally poisoning your existence!
Thanks Rosie. Yeah I don't know how to push the text up, and I couldn't be bothered to fiddle with it!

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful series, wonderful and varying light on the first two and the final hunting pose is stunning.
Thank you very much Christian!
