This young hen harrier chick is one of a pair satellite tagged at a Ministry of Defence base in Argyll as part of a national RSPB project to protect and conserve the threatened birds of prey.
The pair came from a nest of four young located at HM Naval Base Clyde’s high security Coulport site, the storage and loading facility for the UK’s Trident nuclear warheads.
