    harriers fighting the light

    wasn't going out today but a blue sky at 2 o'clock changed my mind .. by the time I got to the other side of the estuary the thick cloud cover had moved in ... the harriers performed well and though distant I got marsh harriers at 10,000 iso and hen harriers at 6400 iso . overall pleased with the result even though the weather didn't help .so got marsh harriers and male and female hen harriers ..plus now know where they roost and next weeks mega spring tides may prove a blessing.
    not my normal i.q but these have got to be at least a quarter of a mile out

    Would love to see Hen Harriers as never seen any. Weather looks bright, across with me it's been dull as anything.

    Nice shots can't wait to see more of them.

      Nice shots, the male Hen Harrier looks stunning in the light.

      I saw a female Hen Harrier yesterday at dusk flying very close to me looking for a roost spot but the light was pretty much gone. I need to go out earlier late afternoon today and look for it again.
