1st September a near miss

Went back to my watch point this pm and had only been there 20 minutes when I got a call from DJS telling me that a Marsh Harrier was on its way towards me, NK had just reported it flying south east a minute or so ago. I immeadiatly scanned the area the bird had been seen in, but no luck I missed it. It must have gone down the other valley and passed behind me. With an average of just one bird a year looks like Ill have to put more time in scanning the moors.
I did have 1 Common Buzzard, 3 sightings of Sparrowhawk and 6 of Kestrel.
