The Eurasian Marsh Harrier is a medium-sized bird of prey found across Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. It typically inhabits wetlands, marshes, and reed beds, where it hunts for small mammals, birds, and amphibians. The species is known for its distinctive flying style, characterized by low gliding and a wingspan of about 120 to 140 cm. These harriers exhibit sexual dimorphism, with males being smaller and having a lighter plumage compared to the larger, darker females. They build their nests on the ground, often using reeds and grasses, and are known for their elaborate courtship displays during the breeding season.
