Otmoor: 13th February

Otmoor
6 Pintail: 4 males, 2 fem. Five on the mere plus one on Big Otmoor. 12:00.
Raven: Car park area. 12:00.
Merlin: fem. Bird of the day. Arrived onto Big Otmoor. Rested on the ground for a few minutes then flew fast and low and no more than a foot of the ground heading straight for the resting Golden Plovers. All birds on Big Otmoor took flight in response. Spectacular! 12:00.
