Marsh Harrier

A visit to the ringing site to undertake some net ride maintenance was most enjoyable on another gorgeous sunny morning in pleasantly warm conditions. A couple of Chiffchaffs were in the ringing site on arrival and during rest periods between strimming the rides, I noted occasional parties of up to four Meadow Pipits heading south (totalling 21 birds) plus odd Sky Larks, Linnets, an alba Wagtail and Reed Bunting. However, the highlight of the morning came as I left around 1130 when a neat juvenile Marsh Harrier was seen heading south, only the third of the autumn here.
