Marsh Harrier

Fowlmere RoadNo sign of the reported Wheatear on Fowlmere Road, but nice views of Fowlmere's sub-adult male Marsh Harrier hunting for about fifteen minutes. Scared lots of Grey Partridges and Skylarks before eventually killing a young Hare. It struggled for a while to carry it off, but eventually had to leave it after being hassled by the ex-Hare's parents and a couple of Carrion Crows that are now feeding on it. Also a Rainbow!
