Taken on 29/10/2009
Female Merlin with a possible Snipe; it had long, greenish legs and large feet. After watching her for about 45 minutes, she spotted something at the base of the post she was on. She flew down and after 5-8 seconds flew back to the post with her meal. Not sure if she killed it or if was already dead but it did seem a rather large prey item for a Merlin. As soon as she started to eat it a Buzzard flew in and she flew off with her meal.
Equipment
