This Christmas, we're raising funds to protect one of Britain's most persecuted birds of prey - the Hen Harrier. Every donation goes directly to purchase satellite tags. For a future where Hen Harriers can thrive without persecution, please support our appeal.

Sadly, we have to report the death of three of the four young Hen Harriers that were tagged this summer thanks to donations from our supporters.

Good point, @nickgalley.bsky.social , I probably should have said rarest native bird of prey. Making landowners responsible would be a start.

Loved the video, Stewart! Great shots of Bearded Reedlings, and some good Hen Harrier footage too, despite the 'focus on the focus'!

A day out looking for Bearded Reedlings and a frustrating moment with a Hen Harrier.

I was lucky to spot a ringtail Hen Harrier from the Blackhead Path, Co Antrim, this afternoon and even managed to get the camera out of the bag in time for a flypast! #birds #nibirds #belfast #northernireland #ireland #ukwildlife #nature #🪶

Another rare Hen Harrier - Sita - disappears, most likely shot, in the Yorkshire Dales, fast becoming a no-fly zone for birds of prey. She was tagged thanks to donations from Hen Harrier Action supporters.

🦅 Two hen harrier chicks in the Peak District have been fitted with satellite tags to protect them from persecution. With only 30–40 pairs left in England, every chick matters.

Wigeon have been dribbling in this last week but 54 dropping out of the sky was the largest flock to date. Some Barwits are still looking dandy and this male Hen Harrier has been around for most of the month. #WestrayBirding
