| | | Possible hen harrier and a pipit
I decided to go for a stroll today along the river severn,i came across what i think is a bird of prey flying head height along the distant coastline,i think it maybe a Hen harrier.I also saw some pipits in the short grass but have no idea which pipits they are .

The easy one first- it's a Meadow Pipit.
The first bird certainly has the gizz of a harrier, but the image isn't that good, so wouldn't go father than that.. |

I agree with aeshna, the first one has harrier (hen?) potential.
