A Hawfinch had been reported at Bramfield so I popped up there on the 22nd December but had no joy. However, there were a few Redwing feeding in the Yew trees and I managed some shots. As it was still early in the day there was still frost on the branches.

Return visits were required and on the 31st December, four birds were present but giving limited views in poor light.

In order to get an early year tick I paid another visit on the 2nd January when there were some breaks in the really dull weather we have had for the past couple of weeks. A walk around the very muddy fields by the church only yielded a few Redwing and Skylark.

Back in the churchyard there were a few familiar birders all trying for Hawfinch and one or two birds did show, usually at the top of the Ash tree behind the church. Not great shots but great to see them back after none the previous Winter.
