Merlin - Beeley Moor

A bit better for birds this morning, I was greeted by 7 Crossbills over the garden whilst checking the moth trap with a similar number on Flash Lane and further parties over Beeley Triangle and at Hellbank Plantation. My first Merlin since the Spring was a welcome sighting though a little distant and Ken picked up a Red Kite over Harewood Moor which we lost heading in the direction of the Red Lion.
