24/07/21	Marsh Harrier	Gallows Bridge Farm, Gallows Bridge	1	J Edwards
16:09	female/ imm. The bird was perched on a post on the far side of the hay meadow for the whole of my visit and did not fly once. Preening and generally looking about. A female/ immature bird and with a pale patch on the upper breast. Maybe a wandering bird from Otmoor or a dispersing migrant from further afield. Found earlier by Richard Goodlad. Lack of flight views meant I am unable to clarify as to sex and age of the bird.
