Super shot, Graham, and it's a great bird, too. I suppose you've heard that the Hen Harriers in England (only a few pairs) have failed to reproduce this year and the RSPB is concerned that they will soon become extinct in England. Let's hope not, eh.

Excellent overhead of this fabulous raptor. I love the light shining through its primaries. Superb work Graham!!!!

Excellent feather detail Graham, great light; back, top, it doesn't really matter, it's a super capture mate. Can't believe they're having such a bad time in England, [Brian], fingers crossed the situation will improve.

Thanks very much to all of you for the great response to this Hen Harrier image!
Hope they survive in England, Brian!
