Monty's Harriers.......

22 July - A visit to a site en route to the S coast and nice but fairly distant views of 2 juvenile Montagu's Harriers that have fledged successfully from the nest in a crop field. The nest site itself fenced off to protect it. The adult birds not seen on this visit, so I will plan to visit again, perhaps morning or evening when less hazy. Very good news to hear of them breeding successfully. Such graceful birds, one of my favourites. Not a bad morning, following a Purple Emperor in Savernake!
