Deadman's Hill

Me and dad spent several hours on Deadman's Hill near Sandon to try and see the elusive male Montaugu's Harrier. We didn't but had an excellent time seeing a total of six or seven species of Raptor:
Marsh Harrier - difficult to tell numbers but at least five juveniles.
Red Kite - three.
Peregrine - one briefly.
Hen Harrier - possible ringtail but too distant to be sure.
Kestrel - several.
Sparrowhawk - one.
Buzzard - up to ten.

We also heard Quail and Yellow Wagtail and saw a pair of Grey Partridges with a number of chicks. I also caught (and lost!) a rodent, probably a Field Vole, and found and photographed (on my dad's phone) this Four Spot Orb Weaver spider.
