It does look as though our popular hawfinches have sadly left us now - there have been no sightings for well over a week, although there are some large flocks in the county still.( Woburn Park and Shuttleworth - and Wimpole Hall in Cambs).
Still, we have a nice flock of bramblings to keep us happy!
You've still got some lovely birds - the aforementioned bramblings, your gorgeous nuthatches and those subtle ravens! I'm sure we'll be back.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
