Hi all
I am certain this is a Marsh Harrier but is montage 2 that the same Harrier 'hovering'?
I know birds don't 'really' hover as such and just use the wind to keep position, but do Marsh Harriers regularly hover or is this another bird?
The thing is, I put down my camera when the Harrier disappeared from shot and only noticed this other bird, which 'hovered' for a full minute or so, a little later and at first I just thought it was a common Kestrel - I was using a 300 lens so couldn't make a full identification in the field.
Any help appreciated as always.
cheers
