The hawfinch is still around, but sightings are fewer now, with a combination of less birders looking in the bad weather (and the return to work) and it generally seems to be more elusive as it spends less time in it's original favoured yew tree, where there are only a few berries left. We haven't found a new location to search for it easily, but at least it is still here!

The bramblings are a pretty good recompense for those that haven't seen the hawfinch lately, with groups of around six- eight generally foraging under the feeders.
