Quite a nice surprise this morning to get a very brief view of the Hen Harrier back on the waste ground off Sylan Drive.
Also bumped into another birder local to the village who had seen it once or twice towards the end of last week. Looks like the bird is spending a lot of time sat in the Hawthorn bushes and long grass. Although the field gets a lot of dog walkers, they nearly all follow the same circuit, so there is plenty of undisturbed areas. Spent some time investigating an unusual call at the south east corner of the field, but couldn't see what was making the call. Plenty of Song Thrushes, Blackbirds and a few Redwings in this corner today. |
