Observation details
Was quite easy to locate / identify these 2 individuals - as they are quite small & sleek - from abundant & bulkier Marsh harriers. Unlike marsh harrier which prefers to roost inside the thick dense grass here - These prefers slightly open grounds as seen in the picture. Adult female (in flight) - Note the greyish primaries & secondaries which are well pronounced & the streakings stopping at the upper belly and has a overall whitish under belly & vent.
