The Merlin at Black Head

 I was walking along coast of Black Head watching the sea for Divers, Black Guillemots etc , when this Falcon chasing Pipits started putting on a super fast aerial display close to shore
The Merlin came down on a rock above me for a short time before heading back into battle further along close to shore, a perfect hunting ground with tired small birds making their way to the headland off the open sea.







Always remember the dangers while birdwatching in and around Black Head.

  • Dont fall into the sea while watching Seabirds
  • Park carefully
  • look out for falling rocks
  • Never come here in the rain
  • Watch out for traffic while viewing the sea
  • Buses
