I wonder which ones the male...

We’ve previously blogged about our rather feminine looking
male Marsh Harrier but a picture taken today by regular visitor Steve Carey
proves that his femininity is restricted only to his plumage. Marsh Harrier
activity has been difficulty to keep track off this spring due to the comings
and goings of several different females. We’ve definitely had three different
females and possibly even a fourth but looks like our man has finally settled
on this one.

Water levels have now levelled out at Radipole after the
recent flooding so the Marsh Harriers and lots of other birds can now get on
with their spring activities though hopefully a little more discreetly than our
Harriers.  

We’ll let you know how things progress over the next few
weeks.
