I was out at the Ring of Brodgar yesterday afternoon. There were plenty of Twite still in the bird crop and i had a nice view of a Merlin. This was the first one i have seen foe ages and a so much more thrilling sight for it!! It swept low behind the back of the ring and headed away at waist hight towards the nettle beds at the loch side. I didnt get a snap of it as i was to engaged just watching!! but I did take this one of the ring which i was pleased with. Its so often a job to give a sense of a circle but from the top of the wee mound on the south side seems to work pretty well.
