More Hawfinches at Bramfield Church

9th January 2025

Well Christmas has come and gone, holidays are over, so time for a quick visit to Bramfield on a beautiful sunny day to see what was going on. There were a few people in the churchyard and a couple of Hawfinches had been seen, so just need to settle down and wait.

It wasn't long before one bird broke cover and perched just out of view on the edge of a Yew. Eventually it started manoeuvring to the edge of the tree and had a look round.

It eventually spotted me and had an inquistive look!!!!

This was followed by a period of good views and luckily all in good light.

As said previously it was a lovely sunny day but also many areas of shade in the Yews, but fortunately the birds seemed to be enjoying a bit of warmth and keeping to the sunny parts.

For once the cold weather seemed to pay dividends.

Also good to meet Ashley Cox.
