From Denmark 28th Sept-5th Oct
Lots of rain with breaks to grab the scope, bins and to try out my new Nikon D500
316 Merlin
317 Grey Plover
318 Eurasian Curlew
319 Great Black backed Gull
320 Common Greenshank
321 European Golden Plover
322 Red Knot
323 Coal Tit
324 Little Ringed Plover
325 Common Kingfisher
326 Hen Harrier
327 Tree Pipit
328 Sanderling
We observed a Merlin hunting a Kingfisher. My wife and I and 4 Danes that were also there were all rooting for the Kingfisher and it escaped. It took a while before it got going again, it's poor heart must have been racing. We all agreed that the Merlin had to eat, but not the Kingfisher.
