The two Hawfinches from the previous post have now increased to a flock of at least eight! They are still feeding on the same blackthorn and hawthorn bushes at the start of the entrance track up to Nagshead visitor centre giving our visitors a very warm and exciting welcome to the reserve. As you pass the cycle crossing, pull in on the left and view the bushes to the right of the track from the comfort of your vehicle for the best views. There are still a few Redwings and Blackbirds feeding in the same area too.
