Meadow Pipits and Merlins

On the fields and lane above Tyn-y-Graig there has been a recent influx of Meadow Pipits and Pied wagtails which seem to have attracted a Merlin.

After glimpses last week, it finally flew over my garden this evening to chorus of Mipit disapproval.

On a newly seeded field, 3 Kites and 3 Buzzards hunting on foot and on the SSSI nearby, 28 Lapwing.
