Marsh Harrier

A beautiful Marsh Harrier checking out the ground for suitable prey. Sadly they seem to like the Lapwings and the juvenile Black-winged Stilts. The Marsh Harrier always seems to be pursued by Crows, so it is quite easy to have the camera ready for a fly past, once he disappears into the Palm trees and the dapple shade he completely disappears though, so good is that camouflage brown plumage!
