Pallid Harrier

A rare trip out of Devon these days saw me & my mate Andy Bond up at the Steart Marshes in Somerset for a juvenile Pallid Harrier that has been seen there for a few days now , we arrived there and settled in to wait to see if it would show and we didn`t have to wait to long before the bird put in an appearance but it quickly flew out into the middle of the reserve and dropped into a reed bed , it was seen again about an hour later being mobbed by a crow towards the far end of the marsh but not seen again before we left for home !
Also seen were possibly 2 Great White Egret , 4 Little Egret , 50+ European Golden Plover and 2 Common Stonechat , other things of note seen were 4 Roe Deer , a Clouded Yellow Butterfly and numerous Ruddy Darters .
