Was working in Milton Keynes today so popped out at lunchtime to see the wintering Hawfinches at the north end of my estate.. I live at the South end of the estate as luck would have it, but am still keeping an extra close eye on the garden at the moment!
Saw one bird almost immediately, making a mockery of the hours I've spent at Lynford Arboretum in previous years!
The estimated number of birds at the moment is 6, but with so many little fields, play grounds and gardens in the area, there could well be more.. Intend to have a look around the southern half of the estate tomorrow am (albeit with my 2 children in their buggy!) |
