I think, as the most persecuted bird in Britain, it has to be the hen harrier.

Seems damned unfair - We should cherish a bird that can take off vertically _and_ lay eggs!

Funnily enough I regularly see around 12 - 16 of them wheeling around. You in South Oxfordshire too?

They don't have a particularly beautiful "song" I must admit!

Re-introduced in the Chilterns back in the early 1990s and now a common sight across South Oxfordshire.

I see them everyday and they always look fantastic.

Love kingfishers; beautiful little streak of blue, but I think that a duck may be more appropriate.

Perhaps a lame duck...

As long as they're wrapped in bacon, any kind of birds would be fine....
