| | | Bird of Prey for ID please
At Elmley Marsh Reserve tonight, not long before sunset. Heading away from me, where I stood surrounded by midges! LOL.
Wings not being held in normal manner for a Marsh Harrier, although I don't ever recall seeing what one looks like carrying it's prey.
Not much of a piccie, but would like to know what it was.
Cheers,
Bryan

Thanks guys.
From the location I saw it, it couldn't have been much else. I guess it was the way it was carrying it's prey that confused me.
Cheers,
Bryan
