Marsh harriers once cleared off to Africa each autumn without fail. More and more now stay put through the British winter. They roost up together in reedbeds on the Somerset Levels.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Raptors - any bird of prey.

At sunset, a marsh harrier glides over one of the orchid preserves at La Mare au Seigneur on the west coast of Jersey.

A large raptor, its wings spread wide, drifts through a fading sky. It is brown, catching almost gold in the setting sun.

Not every marsh harrier male grows the smart grey wings of the field guide. In some populations plenty keep female-brown plumage for life. That makes telling the sexes apart a real headache.

Nog van gister. Nu op de grond bij #Oldemarkt, een Bruine #Kiekendief. De Latijnse naam #CircusAeruginosus (Eng. Western #MarshHarrier) maakt absoluut waar hoe deze dieren als circusartiesten in de (v)lucht balanceren.

It may not be the best photo ever but it was a rather fabulous encounter with a Marsh Harrier at RSPB Dungeness on Sunday 😍

A large raptor, facing to the left, flies low against a backdrop of blurred trees and, at the botton, blurred yellow/green reeds. The Marsh Harrier is dark brown with white head and face, and yellow legs and talons. The bird's wings are raised and the flight feathers splayed. The Marsh Harrier approached and then landed on its nest.

Here's a Marsh Harrier showing off her wings but also her very fancy trouser suit

Lapwings and Dunlins fleeing a Marsh Harrier - which flew unconcernedly between them, as if eating anyone was a thought it never entertained.
