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.
