Black Kite (and Montagu's Harriers)




22 July - an early morning visit to Nocton Fen in Lincs, where the long-staying Black Kite was first watched preening in a tree then flying around and gliding in typically buoyant flight. Surprisingly contrasting between rufous body and greyish head. A couple of Marsh Harriers also seen here. A quick visit also made to the Digby Fen RSPB watchpoint, where the male Montagu's Harrier seen flying and perched preening, one juvenile also seen (photo).
