Large Raptor Over Soil Hill

just as I started walking over the top fields a large raptor flew overhead generally heading WNW. It looked like a Marsh Harrier or a Red Kite without binoculars. It had moved further afield by the time I binned it but the flight pattern and colouring suggested adult female Marsh Harrier 😊.
Fret Ye Not Birding Police As I am only 90% sure I won’t be reporting on Bird Guides.

1 Pied Wagtail ditto Goldfinch, distant Curlew, 2 Swift, several Swallow, 2 Skylark & a few Meadow Pipit. Just 1 large gull over high up.





Ogden Water was poor. 2 Grey Heron & 7 BHG.
Barn Owl seen again 👍.
