Hen harriers are increasingly rare these days so it's quite good to get a picture of a female/immature.

cheers Brian and ant .normally I only see them hunting along the sea edge of the marsh about 2 miles + out ,so very pleased to get these shots ,and if I had stayed a few minutes longer it would have been a hundred yards away ,but had just decided to call it a day got back to the car munching a sarnie when a member of public came up and said is that a owl down there ,never moved so fast in my life
