Meet Henry the Hen Harrier

Henry Peak District grouse moor (2) - CopyMeet Henry. Henry is a 6ft-tall Hen Harrier who’s very, very lonely. He’s struggling to find a mate because most of his potential girlfriends have been bumped off on grouse moors. Henry is flying around the British Isles in search of a significant other and you can follow his progress as he posts daily photographs from his travels. He’s being accompanied by several burly minders to protect him from those who’d like to shoot, trap or poison him.

Here he is last Sunday visiting a grouse moor in the Derbyshire Peak District National Park.

Where will he be tomorrow?

You can follow his progress via his Twitter account: @HenryHenHarrier
