One from this morning it was blowing a gale with the occasional bit of snow and rain anyway after two hours of standing out in the middle of the Marsh this is the best I manage to get.

Wow, just think if you'd stood out there for four hours you would've got a golden eagle, but hey this looks merlin like never seen one me sen.
Hi Tim it was better than the short eared owls I went out for there was 10 last week, but the tide was a little low only 8.6 m with the wind in the wrong direction so no owls only the merlin and a hen Harrier.

Hi Phillip
A female Merlin - pity she had not picked a better perch. If she stays in the area worth putting a bit of time in.
