Male Hen harrier sky dancing 05767 161 Dumfriesshire - Langholm Moor Male Hen harrier (Circus cyaneus) sky dancing display flight, Langholm Moor. He flips over to be upside down at the top of the display, showing his white underside instead of the usual grey back. The display takes place mainly as the pair form or renew their pair bond in March to May. Later on in the season, most of the male's energy is taken up not in display but with hunting to provide for the female (or more than one!) and the rapidly growing youngsters. This image was created by combining many shots taken in rapid succession to form a composite image, which gives an impression of the sky dancing display. 19 April 2014

Hen harrier food pass 05765 161 Dumfriesshire - Langholm Moor Hen harrier (Circus cyaneus) pair in a food pass. The male brings food to the female, who flips upside down to receive it. A food pass can take place either during courtship, as in this case, or during brooding of the chicks later in the season, when the female is mostly on the nest and the male does much of the hunting. This image was created by combining many shots taken in rapid succession to form a composite image, which gives an impression of the food pass, in which the male Hen harrier (above), carrying food, catches up with the female, who flips over to receive the prey item he drops for her, often a vole or a Meadow pipit, or sometimes a Red grouse chick. 19 April 2014
