Gyr Falcon at Scurlage


image taken by R.M.Snowdrop, CBC this afternoon from Merrysun Lane
The Gyr was seen three times within the space of an hour at Scurlage (SS4687) this morning, in an area with good numbers of Lapwings and Golden Plovers. It is an absolutely stunning white phase bird and was well worth the effort despite the rather appropriate arctic conditions. Also seen in the same area were Sparrowhawk, Hen Harrier, Peregrine, Merlin & Buzzard. For further observations during the day see comments...

15:41hrs ...a lot more convenient it seems - Gyr now being watched eating kill on a post! (from Nigel Fairney) - should be some nice pics from Alex by the sound of it...

...Gyr left its post at ~16:00 and flew off in direction of Worm's Head (perhaps the most likely roost site?) (from Dominic Davidson)...
