Tried to connect with Marsh Harrier today after work. (16:30) On the way down to
the hide met another guy who said he was there for same reason and said he had been
there 6 hours and left. When I approached the hide, I saw a Marsh Harrier 100 yards
to the north and a short eared owl had a go at it - then it went out of view as
the SEO landed on top of telegraph post. The harrier appeared again to the north
of Dormans Pool and then soared high up for 5 minutes before stooping on the east
side near where the raised car park is (typical they are always on the other side
of the pool. It had a cream coloured crown and was awesome to watch. Plenty of whitethroats
- saw at least 6, and sedge warblers and 3 wrens. Nothing unusual on Dormans pool

22 new sightings for the sites list this year, taking us to 102 YTD, & that
will bring £2k in to the club's coffers. Thank you again.
