Back to Godmersham

This winter there has been an unprecedented arrival of Hawfinches in the southern half of England. This seems to be dues to a seed failure in their wintering areas. There have been some good photos of Hawfinches at Godmersham in the last few days, but I've contrived not to manage any. While Pam and I, were there yesterday we had five bBuzzards overhead, and I couldn't help but think there was a time when a Kent record of a Buzzard was a bigger event than a group of Hawfinches. The Jackdaws were having fun on the church roof.

A distant Hawfinch, I managed not to photograph any close ones!
