Whenever I visit Elmley I wonder where the Harriers roost considering the lack of trees, sadly I always forget to ask anyone by the time I get home!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225904304368214733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367416329197066280.post-70195805414798853852011-10-18T18:33:58.133+01:002011-10-18T18:33:58.133+01:00Thanks Alan, it was a very good autumn evening, on...Thanks Alan, it was a very good autumn evening, one that will sustain me into the dreaded winter.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367416329197066280.post-1394321722037871492011-10-18T16:07:28.351+01:002011-10-18T16:07:28.351+01:00Nice post Derek, watching Harriers and S E Owls is...Nice post Derek, watching Harriers and S E Owls is definitely one of lifes special treats, especially with accompanying sounds of the marsh.Alan Paveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286527051679271536noreply@blogger.com
