Hiya John
I've never seen a Merlin but i would say it's a Kestrel
Regards Alan
My photos are here and here
I agree with Doggie, it's a kestrel.
#3 for Kestrel.
psst, want to see my blog? http://robandmazza.blogspot.com
That was quick thanks folks, somehow it just looked different
It may not be a Merlin but it is a rather nice picture of a Kestrel,just that bit different from the usual views.
birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,just enjoy it while you can.
I agree, looks like the Kestrels which I see around here! Nice pic by the way!

I think it's a juvenile Kestrel from this year. It's lovely

Hi John, this is a kestrel, have a look at the links to compare the kestrel and the merlin.
