another p.o.v of the merlin
I think this is a nicer pose, the plumages shows better.
I really envy you being able to get so close to birds I never see.
We have at least two established Badger sets within a mile and many more in the locality, apart from the occasional encounter I have never been able to even see them near their sets, let alone photograph them.
I realise Badgers aren't birds but they are still beautiful wildlife.
I was once driving along a country road near my home, very early one morning and saw two little animals leaping and doing acrobatics in the middle of the road, smaller than Squirrels, larger than Mice, perhaps Stoats? I just stopped in the middle of the road and watched them for a few minutes, they carried on as though I wasn't there, then suddenly they ran off into the grass. It was a beautiful display, about 20 feet away, I will always remember it.
