The Marsh Harrier is a medium-sized bird of prey found in wetlands across Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. They have long wings and a distinctive long tail, which helps them glide gracefully while searching for food. Their plumage varies, with males typically displaying a brown body and a pale head, while females are larger and have a more mottled appearance. These birds primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and amphibians, often hunting by flying low over marshes. Marsh Harriers are known for their unique breeding behavior, where they build nests on the ground in dense vegetation, providing safety for their young from predators.
