I admire your patience with this bird John this is a good view of him a stunning bird, wish I could see one from my window, the light we are having is terrible so fingers crossed it will get better and your hawfinch will come closer, good luck

Lovely shot John, really like the this shows his habitat but he still leaps out from it with such wonderful colour. Think we get these at clumber park but would love one to visit my garden! :toast: :toast:
