  6. Hi Bob,
    Wonderful set of images of the Merlin, they are really a stunning little brd.
    I have seen three this last Winter and Spring and managed not a single image, they are so fast and fly so close to the ground.
    All the best, John

  8. I think of Merlin as a small bird, but I’m not sure I would categorize them as a “tiny little bird.”

    1. It is a Raptor, and I think that it is 'tiny little bird' David.
