Merlin

Otter Estuary, Budleigh Salterton, Devon 
I took a walk north from the White bridge to the aqueduct after work. I was hoping for Common Kingfisher. I came away not seeing one but a Merlin sat on a distant post near the aqueduct was a delightful compromise. I picked it up on binoculars by accident as I was looking at a Grey Heron. Unfortunately, it few before I could get my scope set up for a photo! However, a few fields down was an obliging Eurasian Sparrowhawk.
