Marsh Harrier?

Marsh Harrier?

Not too sure, best guess is a Bush Falcon.

If it was over here I would say harrier, the wings are the wrong shape for falcons. But I guess you guys know more about your wildlife than I do, so i`ll take your word for it.............

But either way, great shot you have got of the bird in habitat.

You could be right, it wasn't very big and Swamp Harriers are big birds (apparently) but are a lighter colour. They are a dark colour when young, which probably points to this, as it was quite small.

As for it being my wildlife, I've only been here 2 years, so don't really know it yet!
