Another Garden Tick

Whilst lugging the firewood up to the shed this afternoon a turning raptor caught my eye justoff the end of our East hedge, another ringtail Hen Harrier! A different bird, being an adult female, it quartered across the back of the field and headed off in the direction of Temple Wood. A walk around the Hill late on produced 6 Wheatear and a Redstart.

Hen Harrier, a welcome addition to the garden raptor list.
