“It’s fantastic to see the continued positive impact that removing stoats from Orkney is having on our native wildlife.”

this is so sad and makes me really angry
Hen Harriers, like all birds of prey, should be free to live their lives
grouse moors are a travesty of social justice, environmental justice and commons decency
I hope to see a grouse moor free nation in my lifetime

Hen Harriers are one of my favourite birds and this is one of my favourite pictures. I took it on Norderney in February 2008.

Hen Harrier
To see one of these hunting over fields only a mile or so from home, was a real treat.

Male Hen Harrier.
One of the most stunning raptors we're lucky enough to see in the UK.
Canon R7 EF500mm + 1.4TC, 700mm, ISO 640, f/6.3, 1/2500th.

Hen Harrier.
From earlier in the week, when I watched this female hunting over some marshy land near the shore, here on Mull.
Taken with a Canon R7 and this time I used DxO Pure Raw 2 to remove the noise, and I think it's generated a nicer image than Topaz.
Anyway, that's for the PP geeks out there, the rest of you can enjoy the harrier...

The male hen harrier is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful raptors that grace the UK.
In their full adult plumage of grey with black wing tips, they stand out against the hills and moors as they expertly hunt for rodents and small birds.
In spring, the males perform a breathtaking courtship display called a sky-dance, to attract a female for the breeding season ahead.
This male was on his way to perform this display.

Hen Harrier.
A male, out hunting over the moors this afternoon, making light work of the strong gusty conditions, as he expertly darted this way and that, looking for prey below.

Nest of #HenHarrier chicks, found dead in June, stomped to death on #grouse moor.
Six months later #NorthYorkshire Police finally appeal for information.
Yet another horrendous example of #RaptorPersecution & #wildlifecrime

I can see this #henharrier brood meddling scheme ending badly.
#RaptorPersecution is rife in the southwest. @RSPBEngland @RSPB #NaturalEngland

Subjected to persecution across much of the rest of the UK, the hen harrier is safe here on Mull, where they number up to 50 pairs.
Each spring, I scour the moors and hills to watch them performing their sky-dancing courtship performance, which is a spectacular sight on a sunny day.
The males fly high in the skies and dive down, calling along the way, before soaring up once again. Over and over, to attract the females.
Magic.
