BMW was stationary in a country lane which is juust wide enough for two
cars to pass, but BMW was close to the middle, so a sufficiently foolhardy
bike could pass either side. I stopped by the driver's window, and when
the window was lowered said: "It's a male Hen Harrier [1], there are two
breeding pairs nearby at Wicken Fen."
The driver thanked me, and said he thought he'd seen something similar
near Reach (which is nearly in a direct line between our position and the
aforesaid Wicken Fen.)
Then I noticed a car accelerating hard towards us with me in the likely
middle of the sandwich and said "Oh [censored], it's a BMW. Bye." and
pedaled off sharpish.
[1] By British standards a pretty large hunting bird, but then again when
you first see a Golden Eagle you think the RAF have a new paint scheme!
