Plumstone harriers..........&.........

From...c15:30 1 Barn owl out hunting & perching on fence posts... nice. 1 Merlin shooting past Adrian.... 1 Kestrel hunting.... Peregrine too.
At 16:35 the 1st groups of Starlings motoring past us, then on the horizon below the incoming starlings from the north 2 Hen Harriers gliding around... then a max of 4 Hen Harriers in the air at once, birds appearing to go to roost in seperate directions?... & 2 birds still on the horizon at 16:50
Likely 5 birds seen, a bit distant though.
