OK, we see Marsh Harriers at Minsmere quite a bit, they're normally a reliable spot for any visit. But this is ridiculous! What is the collective noun for a flock of Harriers anyway?
ETA - oh, and before anyone suggests it, no this isn't a Lolly montage :-)

I take it I just missed you again? Brilliant photo!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Lol! Not again??!!
That's quite amazing. I've seen 2 or 3 together but that's almost a flock

WoW! Maybe they were attracted to the carcass of some long dead camouflaged bird photographer hiding out for the perfect shot! :)
I did wonder - there was obviously SOMETHING out there that fascinated them. Who haven't we seen in the hides recently.....
I haven't seen Roy since the Surge!!!!!!!!!!
That's pretty incredible! I see one of them's sporting a green wing-tag.

I know - I'd never seen so many in one place before either. The wing tag's green DL - I reported green A7 earlier in the year, so reported this one yesterday as well. Green A7 was tagged at Sculthorpe in Norfolk, so this one might be the same (I'll see what comes back :-))
That's amazing- never seen that many together in close proximity in Britain- though at Norfolk winter roosts you can get that many individually.
