JAN 8TH 2013 - UK NEW YEAR LIST

Not a birding day I'm afraid but I managed to take an hour out and went to visit a nearby village.

It was dull and overcast again with fine rain in the air. It took 10 minutes to get to Norton Sub-Hamdon about 5 miles from North Perrott. My target bird was the Hawfinch, a flock of 10 had been seen over the last few days in the vicinity of the Rectory and the Church.

It took five minutes to locate four of these lovely beasts, but all were quite distant and they refused to come down from the canopy. I managed to snap off a few shots all quite bad but the best are shown below.

ADDITION TO MY YEAR LIST

90. Hawfinch
