Montagu's Harrier

A brief sighting of a 'ring-tailed' Montagu's harrier this morning flying north over Cotehill Loch.  This a very rare bird for North-east Scotland with less than 10 sightings ever in the region.  Surprisingly though, the last two records in the region (one on 2010 and another in 2011) have all been around Cotehill and the reserve.  So this is the place to see them, albeit rather infrequently.  However, the previous two sightings have hung around for a short while and so hopefully this one will as well.
