As is the way, I found myself confronted by a flock of these, 30-40 and the mist and very poor light prevented a good shot. With perfect conditions it is a challenge. Anyway what do you think?
50 yards and cropped.
If we get bright sun soon! I will return.
For viewing or photography right place right time is everything. I'd rather be in the right place with poor kit than have the best kit and be in the wrong place.
Hawfinch? brilliant to see such a flock initially thought Chaffie before I noticed black bib
Hawfinch I think
The markings look finch like and the shape/size of the beak in the last picture.
What a fantastic flock to see.

Hawfinch it is. Hard to see colours for male or female on my PC.
Brilliant sight to see so many at once John.

Hey farmer, farmer, put away the D.D.T now. Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please!
