Harrier Swamp (Circus approximans) female in flight – New Zealand

On the road from Miranda to Auckland on a drizzling and overcast late afternoon, we had the only sighting from our car.

During October 2019 sailing around Polynesia I managed a picture this Harrier up a creek on the island of Raiatea, Polynesia flying at low level that is classic Harrier.
