Four of the ten hen harriers that hatched at Langholm this year have been sat-tagged and their movement maps are now available online.
The four tagged birds are three females (Grainne, Miranda and Hattie) and one male (Blue).
It’s hard to be optimistic about their chances of survival as they disperse away from the Langholm moor and head towards the badlands, north and south, especially as the start of the grouse-shooting season approaches on the InGlorious 12th August.
Thanks to Dr Cat Barlow of the ‘Making the Most of Moorlands Project’ in Langholm, we’ll be able to follow their progress. Let’s hope they make it past October this year.

Would love to see them in Northumberland and will keep an eye out for them. S
Like most people I would like to see them anywhere, as long as they are alive.
I’m in Sussex. They will be safe on my patch. Good luck to them.

I hope they survive, my best wishes go with them, long may they soar!
