Merlin


We have just returned from a week on North Uist, Berneray and Benbecula - a truly beautiful part of the world and a fantastic place to watch wildlife. As expected we saw plenty of raptors, including close and prolonged views of this Merlin - a second calendar year bird still in its juvenile plumage.

Very nice shot - the new lens is paying its way!

Thanks Stuart, I'm very pleased as I'm getting a few more decent shots and it is still light enough for me to concentrate on the birding rather than the photography. I see that you have been busy in the meantime as well - some great shots on your blog from all over the place!
