University of Groningen researcher Almut Schlaich faces a thunderstorm in the field. Groningen, the Netherlands.
A staffer and a volunteer of the Dutch Montagu's Harrier Foundation install a wire fence around a nest in Groningen to protect it from predators and harvest. The status of the breeding populations in the Netherlands and the UK is so precarious that each nest must be individually monitored and protected, and locations are kept secret.
