Myself and Dave went over to Ravenfield near Rotherham this afternoon and got great views of the adult female Pallid Harrrier that has been at this site roosting and visible early morning and evening for 3 weeks. We were onto it straight away sat in a field preening. We then watched it fly closer and got great views through the scope.
