The hawfinch was seen on a couple of occasions today, but spends more and more time away from it's favoured yew tree at the Gatehouse. Looking today, there are sparse pickings from the last few berries, so it must be feeding in other, as yet unfound, locations.
At least 25 bramblings were under the feeders in one flock this afternoon.
I'm heading North to Scotland tomorrow, so Peter our Senior Site manager will post a blog or two next week to update on the birds.
