Fowlmere

A good evening, with the long-staying adult female Hen Harrier being joined by a juvenile bird. The juvenile was more active than the female though the female did leave her roost for about ten minutes when the two could be seen side by side (they tussled at one point), allowing for an excellent comparison.

Also at least nineteen Pied Wagtails roosting, around 250 Starlings, and the Cetti’s Warbler and Tawny Owl heard.
