This is the news we have all been waiting for...
Yesterday (Tues, 9th Aug) there was a sighting, by one of regulars, of a juvenile marsh harrier flying with both parents!!
Looks like the marsh harrier young has finally come out of hiding. All the waiting and patience endured by staff, volunteers and visitors, alike, has paid off and it's good news. After months of speculating if the pair had successfully produced young, it has come true. Hope, of knowing if the marsh harrier pair had bred successfully and seeing a juvenile, had slowly started dwindle as time was passed by.
It looks like there is only one juvenile - but one is better than none! This is all very exciting and I can't wait to get back to the reserve to see it with my own eyes.
