Harriers

Hi Ken,

I think the Harriers will certainly attack egrets if they think they are sick or injured. I also think that the bigger birds like egrets and curlews are still vulnerable to attack if they are in flight, so they watch carefully but don't move, hoping the raptors will pass them by.
