Lakenheath Sunset


Beautiful sunset at Lakenheath RSPB Reserve today completed by views of Hen Harriers and Marsh Harriers coming into roost in the reeds. They were a long way away but still worth an i.d. shot. Top two Marsh Harriers; lower two and left picture male Hen Harriers.



Hundreds of Rooks and other Corvids roost in the poplar trees. The first shot shows them earlier in the evening with the sunlight catching their glossy plumage making them appear to have light areas. The later shot is taken as they come into roost using 1/10th second - interesting shapes as the fly about in the trees.
