The Northerlies aren't producing migrants here but there's always something to brighten up the day. Merlin at Dullens.

A Merlin (at the same site as the Sparrowhawk) flushed everything out of the garden I was just about to check 😁

Sparrowhawks are not particularly common here, so I was pleased to get good views of one, this afternoon at Tresta.

Best bird today was a Stonechat, only my second in 9 years! A little flock of 14 Snow bunts was nice to see.
