A fairly long broad winged raptor flew into the trees from the NE and landed for less than two minutes at the top of one. Although it was partially obscured by foliage I was struck by the face and head markings. It took off revealing brown colouration on the wings and body as it headed over to and beyond Mixenden.
I, being a second/third rate birder didn’t ring anybody about this as I needed to check identity details with my raptor manual. It was a juvenile Hen Harrier 👍.
Usual gulls including 3 Herring & a couple Common at Ogden. Also a juvenile Moorhen, calling Buzzard & a couple WW.
