Circus maurus
Very rare.
Makes it's nests on the ground, ussualy in wetlands.
i got confused, african marsh harrier is quite common (this is not an african marsh harrier, ill change it), its the black harrier that is rareMarsh Harrier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Mar... (thats my friend holding the bird:) )Black harrier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Harri...
Seen quite a few up the west coast, along with lots of yellow billed kites and a small grey bird of prey that I think might be a kestrel of sorts...
Thanks
Great spotting! I've added the Wikipedia link and added it to the Birds of the World mission.
