Pallid Harrier
Circus macrourus
In the late mornings and early afternoons, the harriers take turns in crashing into the densely foliaged trees. It's a spectacular sight seeing mixed squadrons of Marsh, Pallid and Montagu's Harriers launching themselves at the canopies. I can only presume they are trying to grab a roosting sparrow or one of the other passerines that shelter from the midday heat in the trees.
