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.

@petewalkden Remember one of the first times I saw one I tholught it was a gull and could not understand why it was so far inland! 😂

@erskine Easy mistake. I kept confusing them years ago on North Uist, when I hadn't seen them before. "It's just a gull.... no it's not" followed by several expletives when I missed the shot... 😂
