The volunteers of the #IHHWS are the lifeblood of the survey & they have given freely of their time, at their own expense, to contribute to #HenHarrier conservation. A review of survey findings between 2004-2020 has now been published in @_BTO #BirdStudy tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

The governments failure to listen to the science, the public & NGOs when responding to the collapse of Irelands #HenHarrier population should set alarm bells ringing 🚨🔔 Save the #SkyDancer irishexaminer.com/farming/ar…

Phonescoped hunting ♀️ Hen Harrier. Getting great views of these #Mull moorland masters lately with @Nature_Scotland. Seeing Ringtails a little less regularly now so hopefully most sitting on eggs!

The wintering Warham Pallid Harrier. The 4th record at this site I believe since the first in 2002. Often glowing in late afternoon sunshine.

This Hen harrier visited Walland Marsh for the early part of last week. With local Marsh harrier numbers low in number, apart from a mobbing Crow and Sparrowhawk it had the marsh to itself.
