Male Hen Harrier at Catcott Lows
There has been a male hen harrier seen from the hide at Catcott Lows aver the last fortnight and I was lucky enough to see it today on my second attempt. What a great bird! Only managed a pretty distant shot or two.

A word of caution. If you intend to visit, the track that leads to the reserve is very slippy with mud at present and full of potholes. I managed to slide my car off the edge and needed the help of 5 burly birders to get back on again!

Hi Higgy
The lane is passable in an ordinary car. Just down trust the edges of the road even if this means traveling through some of the deeper pot holes. Plenty of parking available by the hide. If you don't fancy driving down the track, you can park at the bottom and walk the 300yards or so.
Good luck if you go. The bird has shown in the mornings and afternoons so no particular favoured time by the sound of things.
