This afternoon I decided to spend a few hours down at Pat' Haven. Had a good walk down to the estuary but again fairly quiet with just the usual fare seen. However, as I looked out over Welwick saltmarsh I spotted a cc Marsh Harrier...
Nothing else of note except several flocks of Lapwing heading south...
I then decided to continue on towards Sunk Island (a touch of route learning). Within 2 minutes I picked up a superb male Hen Harrier (P.93)...

| Small-headed, long-bodied? |

| Red Kite! (P.94) |
Just shows that great birds can be found even late on a February afternoon. If you're out there looking of course!
