Ok, saw a very orangey Harrier flip over the A149 just past Stiffkey Fen at 11.20 this morning and headed off towards Langham, bird appeared orange and unstreaked on the underparts and very dark overall and on the upperwing - got quite a close view but once again on the bus and a dangerous place to get dropped off so didn't get a longer view. This can't have been the bird seen at Titchwell because of the distance but does conform to what Stu is saying - seen at Stiffkey in the morning then Titchwell in the afternoon, however Stiffkey to Titchwell is an extremely long distance for a Harrier to travel. Last week watched two very orange Harriers over East Hills - are we just dealing with fresh very orange juv Hen Harriers here - someone needs to photograph the barred primaries on the underwing please - hopefully some taken today.
Also today three Waxwing in Stiffkey Wood car park, and at Warham Greens - Rough-legged Buzzard, 3-4 Hen Harrier, Peregrine, 1-2 Merlin
