I was glad to suggest to Kev where he should access Borth Bog and should be delighted that while we were seeing absolutely nothing there, he was busy photographing a Merlin!
However, today having watched a fantastic display by Dolphins, just off Aberystwyth harbour, we had great views of a Merlin at Clarach. Initially it was perched on a cliff-top post and then we watched it chasing a Meadow Pipit round a hillside and later saw it chasing a Starling low across Clarach Bay. (I just wish I had Kev's camera.)
