hawfinch in a tree
This is a hawfinch. We've never seen one of these before in the garden.

fieldfare eating an apple
This is a fieldfare. We have seen one in the garden once before, but they generally don't seem to come into gardens much, so it's still rather special. It was sitting there eating apple for almost the entire afternoon.

Beautiful birds.
The fieldfare does look grumpy doesn't it. Lovely spotted chest though!

It must be thirty years since I saw a hawfinch last. I'd almost forgotten how striking-looking they are.

What an adorably grumpy-looking fieldfare! For some reason I never seem to see them in winter even though there are plenty of them here in summer.

Very cool! I'm fairly sure I've never seen a hawfinch before.
