News of Hen Harrier tracking from Mar Lodge Estate National Nature Reserve NTS and RSPB last month:
One of our hen harriers, Marianne was satellite-tagged in 2022 and we have been able to follow her movements for the last three and a half years. You can see she has had three focal points of activity over the years. Marianne has spent spring and summer in the National Park and has nested here. She spends autumn and winter further south splitting her time between an area north of Stirling and also liking to spend time in Arran. It is fascinating to be able to see the far ranging movements of the harriers once they have left Mar Lodge.
This tagging work has been done in partnership with @RSPB and thanks to them for providing the map of Marianne’s movements.
