The profiles of 11 of this year's satellite-tagged hen harriers are now online and what a handsome bunch they are. Check out the Hen Harrier LIFE Project website to learn more about their stories and meet:

Sadly Elwood is already no longer with us, but you'll soon be able to follow the progress of our other 10 birds as we map their movements online. The first maps will be uploaded in the next couple of weeks, as our young hen harriers start to get more adventurous and spread their wings away from their nesting grounds... so be sure to watch this space.
