| 24/12/20 | Marsh Harrier | Standlake Pit 60 | 2 | M Cunningham |
| 19:08 | 1 fem. a juv (?) 1 male. 2s (?). Patrolling south reeds. Often together. I believe they're feeding on starlings that die overnight in the reed bed roost. The birds are very mobile so surprisingly hard to age. Female: tail looked warm brown once, but more gold than tan. I think westering sun shining through tail. Had a nick/gap in secs on one wing. And ditto at very inner secs on other wing. Wondered about moult but overall flights looked same age and bleached GC bar plus faded cream crown = juv I think. Male: much grey in under wings, extensive black wing tip plus dark trailing edge underwing = Male I think. Upper wing browner. Tail dull grey brown not grey. . | |||
