I will pass this on for what it's worth. Sunday, for the 4th time when I was there late in the day, at about 4:00 the Merlin was perched at the top of the large oak north of the chapel/Mauseleum -- just across the road, in section R (beyond a tall spruce). Once it was in the bare oak just a little more the northward. It was there as early as 3:30 (but not always) and usually stayed until I left just after 4:30. Two of those times it was feeding on its kill. I don't know if 4 out 4 of is a coincidence or a regularity. Actually, it might have been 4 our of 5, but I advise late-comers not to leave too early and before checking this area. Twice, I had met someone looking for it in mid afternoon without success, but when I checked & found it about 3:45- 4:00 they had already left.
