Monty’s Garden Tick

Not mine unfortunately. Was visiting my parents at Syderstone for the last time before they move. Just as we were getting in the car to leave, a bit before eight in the evening, I called a distant Marsh Harrier. I quickly realized my mistake when I noticed the white rump and the narrow wing structure. A Montagu’s Harrier, probably adult female. Took a couple of crap record shots…

Earlier in the day we’d walked around Holkham where I failed to find any Creeping Lady’s Tresses.
