Had wait for a windscreen repair so decided to watch the feed station and try to get photos of the Redwings feeding in the hedge. One bird appeared atop of the hedge and I swung the scope round with the phone camera on and snapped - it was a Hawfinch, I managed 3 quick shots before it dropped down in to the thicket. The same area as the one I saw on the 4th Nov.
It did manage a few Redwing photos too, but the bright sun was washing the colours out and focus was tricky.
On the feed station the usual Tits, Nuthatch, House Sparrows and 2 Great-spotted Woodpeckers, Jackdaws, Wood pigeon, Chaffinch. plenty of Redwing and Fieldfare on the adjacent field, a Kestrel hunting and c200 Starling feeding.
A neighbour told me he had Red Admiral, Peacock and a Brimestone butterfly in the last couple of days on garden flowers.
