Hawfinches
HawfinchesDrove the two miles to Godmersham this morning with a view to catch a glimpse of the Hawfinches which are there at present.
Luckily enough to get two photos FEMALE.. [center][/center] MALE.. [center][/center] Seems the reason for this winters influx of these beautiful birds is down to crop failure in Germany and Sahara Dust / Spanish fires. We can take them !! Richard New Member?

Re: HawfinchesVery pretty birds, Richard.
Have just noticed the time you posted......are you OK?
Re: HawfinchesThey are nice birds aren't they, love the beaks !!
I'm OK thanks. Problem I have at present is not waking up til 9.30 - 10.30 in the morning, can't seem to sleep if I go to bed earlier! Richard New Member? Get more from the Forum and join in 'Members Chat' - you're very welcome
Re: HawfinchesAs long as you are OK that is all that matters.
Re: HawfinchesThey are beautiful birds. I'll have to look on my check list, but I don't think I have ever seen one.
Re: HawfinchesLovely photos Richard! We went to see some last Sunday morning in a churchyard about 10 miles from us. We saw up to 10 but the light was shocking so we certainly didn't a photo like these! Beautiful to see though.
Re: HawfinchesWell we were lucky enough to have someone tell us there were a couple in the churchyard in the village last Friday, so off we walked when Hubby got home & we saw 1 which was very flighty but still nice to see on our own patch!

Re: HawfinchesWe saw another 5 Hawfinch last Saturday, 15 mins from home when we were on our way home from visiting Mum in law. I'm just hoping (!!!!!) they decide to visit our garden!
