moor raptors over mytholmroyd

 bit of a slog this weekend for birds 

i was struggling to see anything other than breeding birds namely house martins sand martins over the house plus lots of swifts and swallows,grey wagtails are doing well with at least 6 pairs seen on various walks 

a raven over on saturday evening was the first for a few weeks and 2 buzzards soaring high over the valley when around 11am a slimmer thinner winged raptor appeared quite high being mobbed by crows bins grabbed and i was looking at a female type marsh harrier coming down cragg valley it then started circling reaching the river getting higher and higher before heading east down the river excellent bird
