With the aid of bicycles for the 6mile round trip, myself and eldest visited Dunsop Bridge this afternoon for the fantastic male Pallid Harrier. Harrier duly performed, skydancing, calling and attacking Red Grouse. Added bonus at about 5.30 was the White Tailed Eagle that 'barn doored' its way over the hillside towards us. Amazing. It was then mobbed by a raptor. The Pallid Harrier! Wow! What an afternoon...
Below is a heavily cropped image that almost does the Harrier justice... and a record shot of the Barn Door. As my friend said... Beauty and the Beast!
