Farlington Marshes - Marsh Harrier, Short Eared Owls and More.

A change is the forecasted weather threw some challenges into the mix for this week’s filming of the Marsh Harrier and with the Short Eared Owl, with the owl coming out quite late in the day and the light fluctuations being fairly frequent. However, when they do put in an appearance, they never disappoint.

Glad you liked it.. for me it’s a real joy to see, film and process these weekly snippets of my visits into nature. I love this place it’s just the road noise that distracts a little! 👍🦌🦌👍

Wow... great filming👍 so difficult to film them during their flight.
Also the little birds are beautiful but the marsh harrier and the owls are really amazing.
Thanks for sharing👍
Have a great week. Greetings Agnes 🙋‍♀️

Many thanks for your kind words, and yes birds in flight are challenging and the light did not help. A great place to visit, really love this place. 👍🦌🦌👍

Lovely Mark, glad you got to see the Owls- I popped down yesterday, only saw the one Owl off in the distance chased away by a crow. No Marsh Harrier or bearded tits -a lovely bright morning but quiet on the bird front
