A day off work, and an early morning visit to Arne.  Was hoping for Marsh Harriers in lovely clear blue skies.  No luck.  But the raptor hide, overlooking part of Middlebere channel, had a female (red colouring under beak) fishing on and off for about 3 hours in front of it.  Often quite distant, but sometimes perched near by.  So I got some photos - light was sometimes okay, but never perfect.  I did see Marsh Harriers, but far too distant for decent photos.  Also, a fox - prowling about at 10:00am.
