Hawfinches still at St Helens

Although the Hawfinches have still being showing well at St Helens, mainly in the famous Darley Yew in front of the church, the numbers are declining with around six present most of this week. It was nice to watch them in sunshine today.

Hawfinch - males

Aside from the Hawfinch it's been quiet although a Blackcap feeding in my garden is the first of this winter but appears to be coming a feature. Several Crossbill on Flash Lane and over Beeley village but little else of note.
