Hawfinch

Just seen a male hawfinch on the feeder, got some piccies but not good quality. I saw one about 7 years ago up here and at the time I think it was the second ever sighting in the county.

Excellent record and nice finding a second one. According to my records, your first hawfinch (assuming it was April 2006), was the eighth record for the county.
