Marsh Harrier(s) and more Hawfinches

An early afternoon visit to the area surrounding St Andrew's Church gave my first double figure count of Hawfinches in Colyton thus far, with at least 10 hiding in the Yews and occasionally showing. 2 Peregrine Falcons buzzed over quite low too; I've been seeing them quite regularly in Colyton recently.

Fran Sinclair reported 2 Marsh Harriers over Axe reedbeds from 11:15 this morning and at least 1 of them was still present when I went down for a look around late afternoon; this is the 'earliest' I can remember seeing one here.

This bird wasn't particularly close (the pic above is significantly cropped from the original) but the detail holds up quite well here despite moderately high ISO of 1600; good stuff from the Canon 5DSR. Massively cropped version of the same pic, with 98% of the original pixels removed:

Good views of the Marsh Harrier and Sunset from here!
