Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Spring 2017

Out on a chilly but sunny ramp at 08:45 were:

Nothing. Been very quiet recently.

However, in the wash-rack was a fully painted rotor-less Norwegian Merlin with its Norwegian serial uncovered. Unfortunatley, I couldn't read it due to angle, terrain and heat-waves. Didn't have time to try Forest Hill. I suspect it's ZZ103/0268 so if anyone reads it off today...

Cheers
