| Hen Harrier | Marsh Harrier | Montagu's Harrier |


The Marsh Harrier is the largest of the harriers, with coloring and wing shape resembling the buzzard. Plumage of the male is mostly brown, with grey only along the back of the wings and the tail. It does have the black wing-tips like the other harriers. The female differs from all other harriers with its white head.

The harrier is common in all of the lowland areas of Beyond, and easily seen in the Camargue.
