Spotted Crake and male Pallid Harrier

A quick post before I head off to bed for no other reason than to post a couple of photos of today's most exciting birds. This 1cy Spotted Crake wandered into one of the walk-in traps:

And this stunning adult male Pallid Harrier flew north over Flommen reed bed, the second Pallid Harrier I've seen in as many days (we had a female fly by at close range yesterday morning):

A total of 36 birds were ringed at Flommen this morning; totals online — click Ringing.
