The Merlin is normally a winter visitor to Buckinghamshire, so this bird is rather early.   It is a scarce visitor to the county but small numbers are seen each winter.  To see a distribution graph of Merlin records in the county, click here. 

This may be the first photograph of the species taken in the county?
