Comments: Out with Kim to see the winter raptor roost, also known for its cranes.
Weather: cold, cloudy, spots of rain; dusk.
5 species
Pink-footed Goose X
Eurasian Marsh-Harrier 20 approximately - all over the marshes from the viewpoint. Raptor watch-point living up to its billing.
Hen Harrier 2 across the fen. One ringtail & also a probable male but difficult to see for definite in the fading light.
Common Crane 20 flying into the fen in smallish flocks, some calling others quiet. Apparently a good afternoon for them, some others at the viewpoint mentioned that it's not unusual to see none!
Barn Owl 2 seen, one distant over the marshes, one closer from the viewpoint.
