Last of the Hawfinches.

Hi all,

My last Hawfinch image of the season taken just over a week ago before they dispersed to get on with breeding. The males really are in fantastic condition at this time of year, but very difficult to get into a suitable spot for photography.

Thanks for looking,

Lewis.

Hi Lewis, another beauty well done, Many hours spent in a hide this last week or so proved fruitless for me.

Can't add anything to what has been said as there in nothing to critique except the moss needs to go back in the shade and get some moisture as it's dying :biggrin: LOL!

Cracking little bird and captured expertly..
