Took a very brief walk today to check if the crossbills were still around. They weren’t but there was this Hawfinch in the small park near my place…
A Tuesday Hawfinch
Tag: Hawfinch
A quiet Friday afternoon in the park
A few birds from the big park near my place this afternoon. The first time I’ve seen the above species there; there were also a few common duck species. No crossbill photos today but there was a flock high up.
More Haws
More photos from today in the big park near my place…
Bird of the day was a flyover Osprey; first of the spring.
There were 3 or 4 crossbills in the tiny park near my apartment too…
Tame
Very tame this one. There was a small group of Hawfinch that were not as tame though..
Some winter passerines still around
I saw a nice flock of redpolls yesterday but couldn’t get close enough for photos…
But other passerines remain.
Pygmy
A very tame one in the tiny park…
Some Hawfinch and Brambling were around…not so tame sadly.
Local haws
From the big park near my place today…
Muddy as you can see.
Common Crossbill, Common Redpoll and Brambling also around; another finch day.
Bold
This male Hawfinch was bold in every sense…
Yet more finches
I walked down the river in town yesterday and there are still plenty of birds around including quite a lot of Hawfinches…
More twigs!
I could probably fix it in photoshop if I really wanted to…
Still a few Hawfinches around…
The quiet invader
The unassuming and modest Hawfinch…quite a few of these around today.
This one even managed to find some berries intact on a tree after the Dusky Thrushes/waxwings cleaned the joint out a few weeks ago.
A very tame one
Most Hawfinches are skittish and fly off immediately. This one didn’t…
