Western Marsh Harrier

Western Marsh Harrier - Circus Aeruginosus - Sivhauk

Went to Gjennestadvannet last evening. A fantastic area for wildlife. Many different biotopes meet at this location. Marshland, forrest, cultivated areas and a lake. A lot of species, and a "guaranteed" location for birds of pray. Spotted a couple of Whooper Swans, Mallards, Eurasian Teals, Tufted Ducks, a Gray Heron, Eurasian Coot and some Common Red Buntings.  I was especially exited to spot an Eurasian Hobby (Lerkefalk) and a Western Marsh Harrier (Sivhauk). Not quite happy with the crispiness of my panning picture of the Harrier, but it is a start. I think I will explore this location more.
