This Merlin provided us with many special moments. She is rousting before take off with a dragonfly in her sights and was very successful in catching them. When predators are focused on the hunt they become much more approachable and she was no exception, this was almost full frame. Shot from my car window on a beanbag D4 600mm, 1/5000 sec, ISO800, F6.3. Thanks for your helpful comments. I reduced the size of the post, not the best perch but thats what they commonly hunt from.
