I was in the grounds of Scone Palace last weekend. Some folk had spotted the resident hawfinches, and Merlin identified their presence too ... but I couldn't spot any. Does anyone have any tips on where to look? Are they most likely to be on the ground or in the trees? Do they have a preference for certain types of trees? Thanks,

Lucky you Katrina, do you have any pics to share?

Another place Ive seen Hawfinch is in the Hornbeam trees at Lynford Arboretum in Suffolk, north of Thetford.
