Castlemartin Corse harriers

The tagged marsh harrier LI was hunting up and down the reedbed this morning, scrapping with crows and looking generally at home. Brief appearance by an untagged second (also 1st cal. year) marsh harrier. A couple of fieldfares posed by the hide. Also: 2 kestrels, 1 buzzard.

The cattle on the Corse are dry cows and take no interest in birders, just ignore them if you go. The bullocks in the coastal field can be more friendly, just shoo them away.
