Another from "Birds of the Countryside" third edition by Frank Finn B.A. F.Z.S. in this case the author must have gone to the local falconry centre to get this picture of a Merlin. If that was not bad enough it would seem a Song Thrush, even though he thinks its a Blackbird kind of shows the measure of the man, must have broke cover and the Merlin pounced on it.
Sorry for the wonky scan.
