Wintersett WET 29.08.12

Continuous rain from 9.00am to 12.00.
Unexpected highlight today was a juvenile Marsh Harrier that flew to trees on the west bank of ACP in very heavy rain at 10.40hrs. It made several attempts at hunting before being mobbed by crows and forced to perch up as the rain continued. When the rain abated it flew around hunting again before leaving west at 12.10hrs.
