marvelous photo of this handsome harrier, Stanley!!! great details and colors, love its yellow eye, top marks, many tfs!!!

never understood why it used to be considered conspecific with our hen harrier, they're obviously so different.

That's a super picture you've got of this harrier Stanley.

Actually I think it's an improvement on your current Opus image, as it shows both upper and underwings plus the 'ring tail', so I think I'll switch it over.

Very well done my friend.

May I wish you and your family a very happy 2019.

Excellent fly-by. I wonder if he's glowering at you because he thinks you scared off his prey ;)
