It's just coming up to the 50th anniversary of my first marsh harriers, at Minsmere (when they were still quite rare and largely confined to East Anglia, hence the obsession). The Corse bird put on a good show this morning. No short-eared owls (I must go down at dusk - great pictures from Alan by the way). But more snipe, parties of lapwing and golden plover flying about, and a surprise flock of 40 fieldfares dropped into Gupton. The usual water rails and Cetti's.....
