Hawfinches

On Sunday 19th January, after hearing an incredible 37 H'finces seen at Sotterley I parked by the side of the road and immediately before the copse I heard and then saw a Nuthatch scampering up a tree, right on the edge of the copse. Walking tp the Church I saw a group of birders just before the entrance looking up, they had been seen earlier but no sign currently. I walked in with Gavin and immediately saw a quartet of 4 Hawfinches flew south west over the Church area before another sextet of 6 Hawfinches flew in the opposite direction and then a single bird seen in the bare tree just west of the Church complex, so 11 Hawfinches in total. A Redwing was also seen perched on a tree south east of the church complex and a Bullfinch seen briefly in flight. I then went to Covehither Old Cemetary, where Gavin and I saw a male Bullfinch fly out from the north hedge.
