We visited Saltfleet Haven today so that the Grandchildren could do some kite flying and whilst there a large falcon was observed on the mud just north of the haven. It appeared to be a 'Saker-type hybrid' with a pale head and was fitted with leg straps so an obvious escapee. When it took off and flew towards the haven it was joined by a ringtail Montagu's Harrier and there was a bit of interaction between them before they separated. The Monty's then flew toward us and was almost opposite at a range of about 100 yards when it turned and headed over the saltmarsh in the Rimac direction where Linda saw it drop down and land. I alerted Geoff Williams and he later checked from Rimac but did not see it. Roy. |

The 'Saker-type hybrid' was at Donna Nook on the 12th August. James |
