There has been many reported sightings of Hawfinch in the UK this winter. From reports they would seem to be everywhere. I made a special trip to a known site for them in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire to check this out, as I have yet to see any myself this year. After about 30mins of waiting they started to appear searching through the leaf litter under the trees.

They have such thick strong looking bills that you can easily imagine them dealing with any seeds in their diet. They are amazing birds to see and well worth the early start to see them.
