The Cornish Pallid Harrier,present since at least early December when Roy Phillipps found it near Botallack, remains a thorn in my side! I'm sure I will catch up with it soon, but for the time being, will treasure these images I took in Cyprus. There are four different birds below. Pallid's are the commonest harrier to migrate through Cyprus and we never fail to catch up with them. The ghostly males are truly stunning.
Great stuff Steve some fab pics there
ReplyDeleteStunning images, do you know of any significant ID markings on the Cornish Bird.
ReplyDeleteGreat photography Steve. I hope you catch up with it.
ReplyDeleteSam, according to people who have seen the Sennen Pallid Harrier, it has a bright uniform cinnamon-orange wash on the underparts and a very obvious boa or collar.
ReplyDeleteGreat images Steve and Well done in the CBWPS photo comp, enjoy your champagne!
