Hi Water Pipit - 1 (prob 2) in the NE corner of the reedbed at 1500. Two birds flew in from the farmland calling, but I could only locate one bird on the ground. Showed quite well for 10 minutes before flying back to the farmland. Please note that there are a lot of Scandanavian Rock Pipits in the area. Also: Hen Harrier - 1 (2nd cal yr male) Great Skua - 1 flying over the reedbed again Stonechat - 2 along north side of reedbed PF. |

I have heard today of a male Hen Harrier around a work friends paddock on Sunday 1 Nov about a mile inland from the reserve - the same male? Possibly - perhaps - probably? |

Maybe! I've seen this same male about 1/2 mile inland of Frampton, and also further up the coast at Freiston Shore. Its an advanced 2nd cal yr, so in most views it seems like an adult male. On close views you can see the brown feathers on the mantle. Its the only male i've seen this winter so far in the area, and i see it most days. |

I was informed it was a typical male when I queried the colour - there is an image on the way from them although wind affected the image quality. Close up views were not had so suspect it is the same male. Many thanks |

A few, and they may be mixed in with the large finch flock thats hanging around the scrapes at the moment. Otherwise they'll be out on the marsh, and your best bet is to wait on the seabank for a group to fly past. |

Thanks for that, Paul! Presumably they have the slight bouncy flight style as other finches? |
