Just watching these twite about 20 feet then ‘wosh’, a male Merlin came into view! Chaos and panic, and the Merlin darted and dived, unsuccessfully. Wow!  It’s well cold, can’t feel my hands. 

The first time I saw a Merlin I hadn’t got a clue what it was but guessed it had to be one.

Watching a big flock of Goldfinches and then Bang! Out of nowhere, really low and very fast.

I had a merlin flypast on an Essex muddy shoreline just the other day. It was like (very briefly) watching a fast jet hugging the ground of the tidal marshes at low tide.

Once spent quite a bit of european taxpayers money tying to secure habitat and food sources for this lot on their southern extent!
