Gavin Craggs & Stephen Murphy of Natural England don their binoucluars as they look for Hen Harriers in the Druids’s plantation bird hide on the Swinton Estate, near Ripon in North Yorkshire. The Swinton Estate is procatively protecting wild Hen Harriers and encouraging the wild birds to breed and flourish on their estate, with Gamekeeper Gary Taylor employing various techniques to ensure they dont predate the red grouse. There is currently a Hen Harrier roost on the moorlands of the estate which is rare as most estates adopt a policy of persecuting wild birds to protect the grouse moors.
