Marsh Harrier
Those August weeks gave us great raptor views and I managed to get a flight picture of this female.

Had to lighten the image, so was pleased to see some underwing detail appear.

We also had a Sparrowhawk fly right below the hide window ... twice!!! And I missed getting a shot he was so quick and unexpected!
