Merlins. This pair of small birds of prey sat in a dead tree where I saw them. The tree has since fallen.
At first I wondered if these birds were juvenile Peregrine falcons. I’m not sure if there’s a chance that two juveniles would be hanging out together – maybe a birder could weigh in on this.

What lovely creatures and so fitting that they make use of a dead tree. Beautifully captured.
