Back in May, we shared the news that two rare Montagu’s harriers had arrived in Norfolk from West Africa. These birds are one of just five pairs of Montagu’s harriers which return to the UK to breed each spring, and as they nest in arable fields farmers have a key role in protecting these birds while they are here. It's a great demonstration of what can be achieved when conservation and farming comes together.
With the breeding season now over, how did the montys fare this year? Find out more from the RSPB's Mark Thomas here
