A dead Merlin was recently passed to me for a short while. It was found out in the Fens near Feltwell having collided with a water butt. Next to it was a dead Skylark too. It must've been chasing the Skylark and both ended up colliding with the water butt. Such an unfortunate end for both birds. I have not finished work on the Merlin - painting takes so long, so I had to draw a line under it and get on with other things. So for now I have the Merlin temporarily in my deep freeze. I need to get on and paint it again in coming days.
Meanwhile my efforts so far are below. Please note the Merlin did not have a dark tail band - it is just that my painting is UNFINISHED!
