You've got wonderful detail in there Graham.

It's always a pleasure to watch these harriers, isn't it. Thanks for showing him to us laddie.
 
Thank you all very much indeed for posting these positive comments on this Marsh Harrier image!
Today we're off on our our annual Easter trip to Helsingborg in the far south of Sweden. Our trip was cancelled last year due to the pandemic but travel within Sweden is now permitted and we've learned that we are very good at avoiding other people if we have too. We're staying in my sister-in-law's housing association's guest flat and if we meet up it will be outdoors. We had a couple of outdoor dinners together in the summer but it might be too cold now. Both sun and snow are forecast.
Looking forward to seeing Red Kites, Avocets, White Storks etc.
The guest flat has no wifi though so probably no posts until we get back on 11th April.
