  • Description
  • Primarily a winter visitor, but recorded all months of the year. This medium-sized bird of prey can be seen hunting back and forth over fields, marshes and reed beds, searching for small mammals, amphibians and birds. When it glides and soars, the wings are held in a distinctive upwards 'V' shape. Males are a bold combination of grey, black and brown, while females and young birds are brown with light patches on the head and forewings.
