Airie Flow Boddon’s Isle

From here Donald Watson watched hen harriers fly to roost from the early 1960s, spending countless hours sketching and painting these and other birds, for example goldeneye and whooper swans on the Black Water o’ Dee, or skeins of greylags or white-fronted geese overhead.
It was here, more than anywhere else, that he got to know exactly how harriers moved and the magic behind their aerial choreography, as, borne on the wind, they switched back and forth, diving at and interplaying with each other as they went.
