Can anyone give me a diagnosis of this distant harrier seen at Parkwood Road on Saturday please?  I’ve tried examining the ‘spots’ but can’t clearly distinguish between the spots of a spotted or the streaks of a swamp.  The undertail has strong bars which I believe is more indicative of a spotted.  No sign of a white rump that I could see but not sure if it would be visible in the views I got. 

 

Thanks,

Julian
