Hi,
I'd appreciate your help with the identification of the harrier on the photos I posted in this thread:
https://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=360478
(I guess it would have been more appropriate to post it here right away, but that only occurred to me when I had already posted in the "Local Patch" sub-subforum ... my apologies!)
They were taken near Hamburg, Germany, on 22 April 2018.
The bird in question was hunting in typical harrier style in low and slow flight, occassionally dropping into the grass, talons extended.
I also saw a female Marsh Harrier nearby, which seemed to ignore the bird in question.
Regards,
Henning
