On the way home from the Wray Caton Moor race I spotted a female Hen Harrier pursued by a crow whilst driving the road from Bentham to Slaidburn over the Tatham Fells.
Unfortunately the bird was flying over a keepered grouse moor, Burn Moor (apt name for a grouse moor), and I wonder if it will survive the hand of man at this time of the year when the grouse chicks will be hatching.
Hen Harriers and other raptors are struggling to survive in areas managed for grouse and game shooting.
If you want to see Hen Harriers in our uplands then we need to stop the illegal persecution of our natural heritage.

And if you enjoy a good read then get yourself a copy of 'Inglorious' by Mark Avery; the book will open your mind as to what is secretly going on in our upland environments..
