Hen Harrier

The farm park fields are becoming the hotspot for birds in the Cardigan area. Late afternoon a Ringtail Hen harrier was performing well over the stubble. Also, a Sparrowhawk, Merlin and Kestrel. The large flock of Barnacle geese seem to have moved on, just the regular flock of around 30 birds today with the Canadas.
There was a large flock of Linnets, finches and Skylarks again but too mobile with the raptors around to search them for a hoped for Twite or Woodlark.
