Merlin

Overcast, rain, 10º, light W.

Far fewer thrushes on the hill today, less than fifty Fieldfare, two Mistle Thrush and a couple of Blackbird.
Just walking back around to the south side of the hill when a Merlin (fem/juv)  flew by fast and low and settled on a fence post about three hundred metres away in another field for a couple of minutes before flying off towards the downs above Aston Tirrold.

A Moorhen feeding in the garden this morning.
