A Pallid Harrier roosting for the night
The grasslands had several of these Harriers - mostly Pallid and Montagu's. The birds in this grassland were a bit shy unlike the grasslands we visited a couple of weeks ago.
The Harriers were readying to roost for the day. They would perch on posts or small rocks like this and wait till dark. Then they would come together near each other in a communal roost.
We could not get a straight shot in many of the take off positions like this one. The birds just flew opposite to us most of the time.
Thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
