On Saturday afternoon (19th Dec) I saw a hawfinch for the first time ever! It was sitting in an apple tree, ignoring the bird feeders hanging nearby, and stayed there, doing nothing for about an half an hour. I wish I'd taken a photo instead of just staring through binoculars at it!
I love all these different names for pigeons, and really enjoying reading these replies. One unrelated question - how do I get a different picture up for my posts? :)
Found how to do it! :)
Just to let you all know I hadn't realised that hawfinches are so rare, and I've now reported it to a county recorder. Bird books, binoculars - and camera! - are now going to be permanently at the ready!
