The Pallid harrier obligingly put in 3 appearances this evening, 16:20, 17:20 and 18:00. The first appearance was particularly close to where Clive and I were standing midway along the road. Three visiting birders from the Midlands who we were chatting to managed some spectacular photos (James will hopefully send some to share on the blog). Between the first two sightings Jack Williams reported the harrier on St Davids airfield. On the final sighting it looked as though it dropped in to roost among the scrub where harriers typically roost. It was interesting to see it's dashing flight as it flushed pipits, it's tailed fanned out like an air break to enable it to turn abruptly.
