WHD - Merlin

Tried WHD and Headon warren today.

Highlight was a fem/imm Merlin seen along the southern fence line in a group of twenty mipits and linnets, causing a stir. It came towards and past me, close in, and continued eastwards. My first of the autumn. Otherwise: low numbers of tree pipit, yellow/alba/grey wagtails, and one siskin etc. Lepidoptera: two Clouded yellow butterflies (Headon warren).
