Harriers
Despite lots of scanning today no further sign on site of the interesting Hen Harrier from yesterday, it was probably seen this morning at Marshside, normally Harriers wander the extensive local areas, between Marshside, the Ribble and the Martin Mere area, so hopefully it will be seen again.
Possibly unto 5 Marsh Harriers were seen today including the wing tagged bird from Norfolk that is still with us. Also an adult Peregrine, 8+ Common Buzzard, 2-3 Kestrel and Sparrowhawk were all seen.
A Water Rail gave fantastic views from Ron Barker hide this morning and the Kingfisher was seen a few times from here. Large flocks of Pink-footed Geese were using the reserve today along with 60+ Whooper Swans.
