PINNACLE 2,297 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Great pics any pics of merlin's anyone ? I got this earlier this year the first and so far last spot. I bumped into a birdwatcher the week before who said he had seen one in the same spot and it was his first sighting in 70 year so I guess they are not common I guess Merlin female (Falco columbarius) by Martin Billard, on Flickr 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never seen merlin's and a hoppy a couple of times . We have Merlin's here inland, plenty of Peregrines on the coast and inland. The Merlin prefers higher ground and a few years ago I did hear of one nesting in a dwarfed pine tree. A mate of mine flies Merlin's at skylarks he has a licence for so many a year. Very often when on the higher ground looking for skylarks wild Merlin will buzz his falconry one. I have only heard of one unconfirmed sighting of a Hobby here, they just do not seem to like the west coast. TC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HPR 1,160 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yeah I know a lad that flys them on skylarks ace to watch nearly as good as a tircel on snipe . They reckon in Ireland there all over . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
