Taken on 16/11/2011
Seen and photographed by Neil Roberts at 15:00, no jesses, no radio aerials or other telemetry, not ringed and was not tame. Hunted low over fields and ditches trying to flush hares, partridges and the like. Looks like a 1st CY bird of the grey Icelandic/E greenland coastal race (John Bannon), although I have bnevr knowingly seen one of these birds. However 'big' Merlins from the same neck of the woods are often recorded in SW Lancashire in late autumn/winter.
