Two Hawfinch in tops of yews in grounds of the church opposite Strode College, Street yesterday morning. Pretty sure some hung around for quite a while there a few years ago.

At least 4 Hawfinches seemingly coming to roost around 1500 this afternoon at Kilmersdon; also 8 Greenfinches & a Little Egret in trees at the back of the churchyard!

5 Hawfinches still present today, perched for the entire duration of my half hour visit.
A Carrion Crow collecting twigs followed by a Raven landing around 10 yards from me.
2 Redpolls were seen in the Churchyard after I had departed.

Just two Hawfinches for me this morning, in top of Alder trees just beyond the far wall of the churchyard. Handsome birds in awful light! Plenty of Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Long Tailed Tits, Blue and Great Tits and a single Coal tit.
