fem. Observed between 18.55 (when I arrived on site) and 19.00 on a beautifully clear and sunny evening. It is unknown how long this female Marsh Harrier was on site before I arrived. She made no more than a couple of low passes along the south eastern shoreline that runs parallel with the A31, dropping several times as if to attempt to catch something. By around 19.00, she made her way, very low, in a westerly direction beyond the tree line and wasn’t seen again by the time I left at 21.00. With fairly distant but very clear views, this bird was certainly an adult female. This would be only the 2nd record for the site. SU868488.
