HEN HARRIER One of the many species of #raptors you can see flying over the Angus Glens! Thanks to the #headkeeper for sharing this short clip of a Hen Harrier hunting the moor with a Curlew following on, which can be iconically heard in the background. Beautiful sights and sounds as we welcome back spring in 2023.
