This beautiful composition is based on a description of hen harriers skydancing in Orkney as acutely observed by James Macdonald Lockhart in his prize-winning book 'Raptor'. The words are read by Tom Kane, with music also by him. The completing touch with video was provided by Jenny Shelton, drawing on the RSPB's video library.

A fantastic wee video of fantastic birds with delightful narrating

I’ve never seen these birds in the wild. They look so beautiful - and the female dwarfs her male counterpart! I hope they can recover in the UK.

I was blessed to be able to see a very similar skydance yesterday a few feet over my head at my own home, east Co.clare.

I saw a male this afternoon. I live in Gosport Hampshire. It's coastal and there's also marsh and wetlands here. I can't believe I was lucky enough to see it. I was riding my bike and it flew over me to the right about 15 feet away.

You could be forgiven for thinking female hen harriers are a variant of Short-eared owls.

Ah ! So it is a hen harrier that lives down the lane. Thanks

Brilliant footage of a fantastic bird. Strange that some evil folk out there shoot and poison them . Long live the #henharrier

Luckily not all of the shooting community are like this. Bad eggs in all aspects of life. I witnessed this with my own eyes this weekend while out shooting. I shot nothing. But got to sit and watch many wonders of nature. Wonders most will never see. I then gave the exact location to the raptor man for him to log it. We aren't all bad.

Harriers all very well introducing them to Hampshire but this could be to the detriment of local bird life, we have a male that comes and goes with birds from our garden feeders so you win some and loose some???

That would not be a hen harrier. They are no threat to garden birds.
