| Comments : | 20.00, At last again, a beautiful male Hen Harrier hunted over our land at Carrowkeel for two minutes. It passed our house at 30 metres distance. I was watching (actually still am) BBC 2 about wildlife cameramen. Doing emails at same time and looking up, saw this great bird just outside the house. Wow. Is that called "glorious serendipity" ? |
