A query: how big is the Eastern Marsh Harrier as compared with the Western? The Swamp Harrier is a little larger than the Eastern.

I think I recovered from that edit conflict just now, and yes, I do plan to do a Swamp Harrier entry (but not tonight). Tannin

I haven't got anything that mentions spinolotus, apart from "Birds of India", which has it as a race of Marsh Harrier. jimfbleak
