Various Harriers

Marsh Harrier

I have seen Marsh Harriers a number of times in both Norfolk and Suffolk two counties in which it is now easy to spot this lovely raptor that was once so rare in England.

This picture was taken on a visit to Cley in 2006.

A visit to the winter Raptor watch point at Hickling Broad which is part of the reserve of Norfolk Wildlife Trust is very good but distant place to view large numbers of Harrier's as they come into roost on the reserve just before dusk.
During a visit to Hickling in February 2007, I saw over 30 Marsh Harriers as well as Hen harriers, Barn Owl and over 30 Common Cranes (pictures of the Barn Owl and Common Crane pictures on this site).

Hen Harrier

I have seen Hen Harriers a few times, once in Cairngorm National Park and Once at Hickling Broad in Norfolk but so far no digital pictures.
