These pictures were taken yesterday at the Fowlmere RSPB reserve in Cambridgeshire. I think that it is a Marsh Harrier, can anyone confirm?

Thank you.

Hi Keith,

A warm welcome to BirdForum from all the Moderators and Admin. Glad to have you on board :t:

Looks like a Marsh Harrier to me.

You're right. It's Marsh Harrier

Agree with Marsh Harrier. A female with darker colouring?

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the quick replies.

The Marsh Harrier disappeared into a reed bed and didn't reappear for the 20 minutes more that I was there. What do you think? Nesting?

The first two photos are of a male, and the second two are a female.
