@TownSeagull @AlanDaviesbirds Well, most people saw one, but I made the mistake of heading off after the event to see a Bonaparte's Gull that had turned up at Hoylake. I missed the Hen Harrier and the Gull which @markavery likes to remind me about. I have seen then at Parkgate at other times though.

Not sure it can be #HenHarrierDay, it's not raining! A look back at the sodden 570 in 2014 https://t.co/oKqGzADgR9

It’s #HenHarrierDay today, raising awareness of the persecution of this beautiful bird. I’ve been lucky to see a male, female and juvenile #HenHarrier over at Parkgate those 3 birds represent just an eighth of the British population and that’s rubbish. Photo by @WildeAboutBirds

A #wilderfuture in our Uplands could be so different. Change is needed to benefit wildlife the climate and wonderful opportunities for nature based tourism.

I've just called on my local MP to urge for our governments to protect the wildlife and habitats of our uplands, for nature and for people. Join me and contact your local politicians now. https://t.co/Wgfw3zQwCW

Correction - 2019 was just 12 successful pairs (thanks Guy)

[Findlay Wilde @WildeAboutBirds]

It's #HenHarrierDay2020 today. A look back at the successful breeding pairs in England shows just why this day is still so important:
2016 - 4 pairs
2017 - 3 pairs
2018 - 9 pairs
2019 - 15 pairs
Remember, our uplands could be home to over 300 breeding pairs.
