Juvenile - total Marsh Harriers counted 8,520. Given the complex variations in plumage and the scant knowledge of dark morphs I can only surmise about some of the birds below. |
2CY Male |
Juvenile |
Young adult male. A lot of brown in the upperwing but very pale on the underwing. |
Dark morph male. What a stunner. The broad black trailing edge joins the dark underwing coverts leaving just a narrow grey window in the secondaries. |
2CY Female |
Juvenile. Broken P10 in right wing. |
2CY Male |
2CY - Dark morph female? Juvenile P10 and a few juvenile secondaries in both wings. |
2CY Male. Juvenile P10, dark trailing edge and new dark fingers visible. I wonder if the dark underwing coverts and body indicate a dark morph? |
Female |
Juvenile |
Male. |
