they were back at another 3 nests yeaterday. the two nests we were at on sunday belonged to a polygamous male, they thought he may have had a third "wife" also!
im sure they said they reckoned on 30 nests, never knew there were so many. im almost sure they said they never use the same nest twice but dont quote me. im hoping to get out to the harriers again jenny :)
