Middlebere, Dorset, 3rd January 2010

In the last 3 years since I have been back from living and working abroad, Middlebere is probably the place I have visited most, usually in winter with the hope of seeing (and trying to photograph) Hen Harrier. Some days you don't see them at all, some days you see them distantly but some days although you have to sit in freezing conditions for a while, you get lucky! Just a shame that this is still one of the most persecuted Raptors in the UK or maybe they wouldn't be so rare.
