The Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus is most often seen flying low over reedbeds and grazing marshes of Norfolk, with wings raised in the prominent and characteristic ‘V’ shape. Once common in the early 19th century, they became extinct half a century later from persecution and habitat loss. Today, after decades of conservation effort, there are nearly 400 pairs in the UK, from East Anglia, to the Somerset levels, north-west England and Eastern Scotland.
