On our way home from Saffron Walden we spotted this wonderful, rare bird - the Hen Harrier. It was flying low over the cold fields to the north of the B1039 between Barley and Royston, travelling approximately towards Fowlmere (where one has been roosting) - it was about 4.30pm. The male bird has grey plumage with black wing-tips; the female is brown with distinctive white upper-tail coverts - the ring tail.
