Hen Harrier

    I was at the carpark checking the field for hopefully, a owl, wow a Ring-tailed Hen Harrier hunting the edge of the fence, my be a female not sure? could be a juvenile? as it moved out of view, i looked behind me to see a Male just over the picnic bench, instead of flying towards the saltmarsh, it went back following the road towards the trees, next to them, until it got to the field, where the other was hunting, you see the small birds panic and fly up into the air, just in front of them, it flew along the fence onto the saltmarsh towards the breakwater, then towards Wigtown,  the other was on a fence pole, before returning to hunt the field, i took some photo's, but they came second to watching this, sorry.            Crook of Baldoon is a reserve,  wild yet near home.

I have added two photo's to my gallery,  top one Ring-tailed, bottom one the Male.
