Marsh Harrier - a photo on Flickriver

Marsh Harrier

            While at Elmley Nature Reserve, driving the track, we were told that a bittern had entered the reed bed very close to a Marsh Harrier nest but unsure whether it had gotten any of the chicks.  What followed was a long long time of both male and female Marsh Harriers screeching and swooping down into the reeds to try and dive bomb the bittern away from their nest.  It looked to be working as their divebombing worked its way into a different part of the reeds which seemed to be away from the nest.  Not sure of the outcome as we left the scene before things seemed to have fully calmed down.
