          Thanks, yes Sheal, I think he/she hatched about 3 weeks ago so should be within a week. I haven't seen them for a week and when I entered the woods yesterday, I could hear the chick from the entrance! The nest is about 40 feet from the ground, I hope the landing is a soft one!

              Does anyone know what this is? I thought it was a type of buzzard but I can't ID which one. It was the same size a buzzard and was flying low over marshes. Sorry about the quality

                          A bird watching forum thinks it's a female Marsh Harrier, which is brilliant news as there was a rumour going round that hunters with a Harris Hawk had killed them off. This was over 1/2 mile away.

                            Love the Woodie pics.:dbgrtmb:

                            definitely a Marsh Harrier Yvonne, they are increasing in number gradually, yours looks like a female due to the pale head.
                            There are three breeding pairs in Dorset now, ten years ago there were none.:blue thumb:

                              Update on the Woodies, chick has fledged and sitting in the tree canopy making it's presence felt :-)

                              No sighting of Mrs Marsh today, but did spot this

                                glad the youngster is out and about. If he's got any sense he'll pop back indoors overnight,
