| 26/05/11 | Marsh Harrier | Arborfield | 1 | C Clacey |
| 05:00 | fem. This bird was seen along side the Buzzard and Red kite gliding over the fields along side the Swallowfield road, Arborfield heading in the direction of the M4 / A33. The proximity of the Buzzard and Red Kite clearly revealed the differences in size, wing span and flight patterns. | |||
| 12/05/11 | Marsh Harrier | New workings, Moor Green Lakes | 1 | B M Archer |
| 07:30 | fem. First spotted by Noel Silver as it flew in from the west and seen for a few seconds over the new workings being mobbed by Lapwings and Crows. It dropped down out of sight in the Fen area. Watched the area for 25 minutes before it took flight and got the attention of Lapwings and Crows again.

| 30/01/11 | Marsh Harrier | Kintbury | 1 | K Parr |
| 12:15 | A brief sighting of what could only be a marsh harrier at Barton Court (while fishing) - one of the local buzzards took exception and saw it off before I could get a 100% identification. Topped an amazing day - water rail (heard), snipe, red kite, buzzard, kestrel, treecreeper, dabchick, tawny owl, little egret, nuthatch, reed bunting, GS and green woodpecker......and the fishing wasn't bad, either! | |||
