Merlin over Brantham

Post by Darren50 »

Around 1500, single Merlin very low coming in from the East, Clacton direction. Flew directly above my road and then rapidly ascended at the end. Headed off towards Wattisham/ Mildenhall direction.

Had one over Corby this morning going south-north; we get Chinooks on a regular basis but the Merlins are much rarer.

I get 2 or 3 Apaches on most days,but other than that maybe 1 or 2 tornado's, 1 or 2 F15's ,handful of chinooks and Hercules, occasionally an Osprey in any given year, but hardly ever a Merlin.
