Below are a few shots of a Merlin which has been a visitor to the Edmonds marsh for the last couple of weeks. Much of the time the merlin can be spotted sitting in the trees on the south side of the marsh, but at times can be seen hunting over the marsh, and will sometimes even land in the trees on the west side near the viewing platform at the end of the boardwalk.
