TheSkunk sniffing around SPTA

Post by theskunk »

I did my first trip this week down to Salisbury Plain Training Area, I went to Everleigh after just missing out
on a Merlin in the Lindens (Spectacles), not much happened before lunch, but it was an amazing
afternoon with the sun slowing setting.

Thanks to Dunk, Paul, Nick & Tony'O for the company.

And thanks for looking.
