This time yesterday I was back at Wicken Fen with a small group of friends and colleagues – talking legal challenges and looking for Hen Harriers.
We saw a couple of distant ringtails and as the light was really failing, an adult male brightened the gloom. It was spotted by a lawyer! It was now so dark that the Snipe were flying in to the marsh and a Woodcock too.
It wasn’t a long view of a Hen Harrier, it wasn’t a brilliant view (but certainly a good one) but these are always precious moments. To be outside, with good friends and respected colleages, and to see that bird – a precious moment indeed.
