Hi Guys

Can any one confirm the bird sat on my fence?

Hen Harrier?



Cheers

I'd say so, from the banding on the tail.

Thanks.

Or a female sparrowhawk, maybe?

Definitely a sparrowhawk (female, as above).

Would be lovely to have a hen harrier in your garden but very very unlikely!

Ahh ok. Still lovely, she was there for 30 mins or so.

Imagine if you got a Hen Harrier in your garden, would be the most amazing spot ever!!!
