Hen harrier, Rainford

A female hen harrier has been hanging around the Rainford mosslands since at least Christmas, but it can be hard to catch up with, ranging from New Cut lane near the A580 all the way north to Dairy Farm road. To date I've seen it four times, the first three were from the Old Coach road on Clare's Moss but today I finally caught up with it at Dairy Farm road.

There are still a few hundred pink-footed geese in the area as well as a few ravens.
