They are very endangered would be wise to sanitise the location info and inform RSPB

Good shout, though I would be very surprised if they dont know about them. It's a well watched area that coast

Just to add to this, I saw a marsh harrier yesterday. About 5 miles from where I saw the hen harrier. I watched it for a good minute of two, just swooping around, about 10-15ft off the ground. Above a field of wheat. She couldn't find anything to eat and slowly drifted away, hunting all the time until out of sight.

I'm a lucky chap!
