ℍ𝕖𝕟 ℍ𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕣𝕤 are medium-sized birds of prey that breed in Eurasia.
When hunting larger prey such as rabbits and adult ducks, Hen harriers will subdue these by drowning them in water.
The genus name of the hen harrier 'Circus' comes from Ancient Greek 'kirkos' and means 'circle' which refers to a bird of prey named for its circling flight. The specific name 'cyaneus' is Latin and means 'dark-blue'.
