Hello all
I live in south London (Brixton) and do the odd trip out to reserves near London. I would really like to see a Merlin, but don’t have much of an idea where/when would be best. Any suggestions on where I’d have a good chance of seeing one? I’m assuming either a day trip or a weekend away (ideally not too far though). I’ve done a bit of research, and these look like possibilities: Fowlmere in Cambridgeshire, Elmley Marshes or Northward Hill in Kent, Pulborough Brooks, Sussex. Could go further north though too.
I’m wondering about the time of year – when do the wintering ones start to head north?
Any help would be great. Thanks very much!
Will
