Dowrog

Visited Dowrog in the vain hope of stray Glossy Ibis` and no luck--- Never mind, we parked in usual place and saw a Shortie straight away, hunting round the withies. This was quickly partnered by another. Scanning right , found a male Hen Harrier sitting on a tump. Looking left , another male Hen Harrier, coming in fast, straight at the Shorties, and a bit of a sparring match followed. The three birds circled up and up together until eventually the harrier peeled off and descended whereupon it was joined by the other male and they both settled down on tumps , affording great views----- the Shorties went into a display, the uppermost one doing stiff winged circles and short stoops with half closed wings, the other descending slowly in circles until they joined and went to ground away from the Harriers.
