Marsh Harriers

Further to Richard's comments about male Marsh Harriers, the following observations may be of some interest.From at least 24th December, 1994 to 18th April, 1995 a female Marsh Harrier was frequently seen in the Marloes Mere/Dale area. In February 1995 I watched her go to roost in the reed-bed at Crabhall, Gann. On the 29th March a male Marsh Harrier turned up at the Gann. This set the imagination racing for a while, but unfortunately I never saw both male and female together.
