Decided to have a go for the Hawfinches despite the wind. Nothing doing by the white cottage but walking along the bridal path in the wood a flock flew up from low down [no doubt sheltering] and headed down valley. They eventually came back and flitted around in the tree tops up towards the top road. I reckon the flock was about 20 strong. Managed a couple of heavily cropped record shots in appalling conditions [trees shaking around and buffeting me]:

Well it had to be my good friend prof David Bush to spot it “Ey oop! tha’s not writing t’English like it should be sithee”. Just in case anyone was wondering I am not getting re-married! It was a bridle path I walked down, not a bridal path! 🙂 Sorry Dave, I was only joking wi’ t’accent. 🙂
