House Finch at Dunwich

Hearing of a tweet about a possible Scarlet Rosefinch, subsequently reidentified as the similar House Finch. On Saturday 3rd July, Jenny & I drove to Dunwich paid the £6 car parking fee (same organisation National Trust but at Marloes they have a separate 3 hour £3 charge, why can't they do that at Dunwich too?) We parked up and by the Coastguards Cottages in the corner there were bushes, a large Pine and bird feeders. There were a few people assembled and I spoke briefly to the lady who had found the bird singing in a bush nearby the previous evening, after congratulating her. I set the gear up, people said it had been in the tree. After a short while I spotted it in the tree heavily obscured by branches and foliage but it moved to an area between 2 branches of trees waiting for the coast to clear and it flew onto the feeders for a split second before something spooked it and it flew back into the tree. Just minutes later it was back on the feeders round the back before hopping to the side and then flying back into the Pine. After 20 minutes it flew to the front of the feeders briefly before flying back again into the Pine Tree. Checking the photos later it sported a green metal ring on its right leg and the white lettering read 80 vertically (ie. the 8 above the 0 then reading MF 47 vertically). Several birds came to the feders including Blue, Great Tits, Goldfinches and a young male Great- spotted Woodpecker.
