Merlin......

Wednesday 30th January 2008

Managed a few hours at Keyhaven on Sunday, our first trip there this year. We walked from Keyhaven to just past the jetty at Pennington, and back via the inland road.

There were lots of birds.......including a Kingfisher, Dartford Warbler and some Spotted Redshanks. The highlight for me was a Merlin, sitting in a dead tree near the jetty, where the Peregrine usually sits.
