| 29/12/22 | Merlin | Ilmer | 1 | D J Stone |
| Male. Came in at tree top height, maybe 100yds away, as it banked round the sun picked out it's pointed grey coloured wings, back & pale breast. Flew along the hedgerow where the Thrushes had been, disappearing into the trees behind, where it must have settled as it emerged a few minutes later, disappearing again into some more trees further along. That certainly brightened up a breezy day. Seen with Stewart Dennis. | ||||
