Raptors at Plumstone

From Adrian Stallwoood and Monica Fernadez - Seen today at the starling roost - 2 female Hen Harriers, 1 male Hen Harrier, a Peregrine, and best of all, stunning close-up viewing of a male Goshawk. He seemed oblivious to our presence, so intent was he on the more vulnerable starlings at the edge of the roost. The starlings themselves remain an awesome spectacle.
