Male Hen Harrier at Loch Indaal, Isle of Islay

While watching a Golden Eagle perched on a rocky outcrop at the top of Loch Indaal not doing much two other interesting birds suddenly showed up: A Buzzard and a male Hen Harrier. They seemed to have a bit of a disagreement, unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of that. But I did manage to capture this view of the Hen Harrier in full flight.
