Caption
Hen harrier (Circus cyaneus) female hovering over moorland, Glen Tanar Estate, Deeside, Scotland, UK, June. Photographer quote: "I'd been in the hide for over 5 hours when I heard the distant call of the male signifying he had food. The female flew up from the nest in the deep heather and within seconds returned with prey for the young chicks. The whole event lasted for less than a minute before I settled down for another 5 hour wait!" Did you know? The hen harrier is one of England's rarest birds of prey and is regularly shot or poisoned.
