My husband came in and told me there was a bird on the walkway eating a pigeon so naturally, I had to grab my camera in hand and go see if I could capture some images. I later identified the bird as being a Merlin through my bird app on my phone. The Merlin was more interested in it's meal than it was of me and my camera so I managed to get a few shots of it.
