Hen Harrier

wisely keeping distant from any human

first of the winter Hen Harrier

in the gale and dullness yesterday afternoon this Hen Harrier passed through Alkborough heading for the Blacktoft roost -- plumage features and iris colour seem a bit ambiguous but we think its and adult female -- will it hang around -- not a single record at Alkborough last year so even one record is a positive -- terrible shots at high ISO and distant bird in really poor light
