Posing Hawfinch

There are still 10+ Hawfinches in Colyton spending most of their time in Yews at St Andrew's Church but occasionally feeding on the ground too. Although their calls can be heard almost constantly during daytime, they are rather difficult to see well when perched as they usually fly deep into the Yews. I wrote 'posing' in the blog post title but it only posed for perhaps 2 seconds in 2 hours... Still, I tried to make the most of that!

Mostly in the shade but it poked its head out just far enough to catch some sunlight
