Merlin.

No, not the wizardy guy from the Arthurian legend nor the famous RR aero engine but a female merlin out seeking her lunch. Photo courtesy of our son taken while out birdwatching this morning.
Today’s extra is Chloe the PA, “Mr Browne will see you now”. Taken while messing around last night.
Woke this morning to a very chilly start. There had been freezing rain overnight and everything was covered in a sheet of ice - impossible to walk anywhere. However, the promised thaw has well and truly set in and everything is dripping away steadily and the paths and pavements are slowly clearing.
