Without apology, here are lots and lots of unmistakable adult males, surely one of the best raptors in the world!
This one popped out of a ditch really close, but was gone in a flash!
The low sun and dark rain clouds near dusk made for some impressive lighting!
Love those panther eyes!
There was a single, very distinctive 1st winter male.
At the roost.
And hunting.
An adult female.
At the roost. She seemed to have lost the use of her left eye.
In flight.
Wing-on profile comparison with Eastern Marsh, showing the small, almost owl-like head and short neck of Pied.
Finally, some dusk shots of harriers coming to roost.

First time for me to see a juvenile male transforming into adult. Really nice comparison to the Eastern Marshes as well.
Really stunning shots! Dave. Love the evening shots...
What a beauty!
Those adult male Pied Harriers are absolutely irresistible !
Great sunsets, too.
Thanks to one and all!
