The chance of seeing a male Marsh Harrier at Brandon Marsh N.R. lured me away from the Tame valley. The bird had been seen quartering the Newlands reedbed early in the morning and there was no guarantee it would hang around but it was a risk worth taking. In the event it was nearly an hour before the bird appeared but at least it was there and showing well before going to ground again. The Bittern flew briefly during the next wait, so briefly that I missed it, but I was more than happy seeing the Marsh Harrier so well.
