Not a Waxwing Winter

This single Waxwing at Sprotborough seems to have got the wrong message and made the journey to the UK this winter - one of only a few in the country at present.  Not surprisingly, it has found a nice cotoneaster to hang around.

Thanks for looking!

Hawfinch at Broomhill Flash

Hawfinch Action

Better late than never! With a couple of spare days over Christmas, I finally managed to locate some Hawfinches.  A group had been present around the church in Darley Dale, Derbyshire, for a couple of weeks.  I didn't expect so many; a flock of around 20 in the area, and whilst they were generally quite distant, a few occasionally appeared nearer to the road.

Thanks for looking!
