Dancing Adders & Hen Harriers

[Paul King]

What a great day last week with cuckoo, ring ouzel, peregrine, buzzard, kestrel, goshawk, sparrowhawk, raven, dipper, grey wagtail and whinchat to mention a few!
To top it all I had magnificent views of a pair of hen harriers, one of which was sky-dancing and something I've never seen before in my life.... adders doing the "Dance of the Adders"

This video shows just how engrossed they are when "duelling", they literally landed at my feet at 1min 50secs into the video.
I've now invested in a camera that allows me to keep a safe distance when filming in future!
