Hello
This morning Jacob witnessed a Hawfinch flying low south over his house in the village of Scaldwell.
A little later and Harrington Airfield was buzzing with birds, the highlights being three Hawfinches in hawthorn bushes by the second bunker, a male Ring Ouzel by the shooting wall, at least one Brambling, four 'Redpolls', 2-3 Siskins, 2 Chiffchaffs, 70 Golden Plovers and 5 Grey Partridges. Redwings and Starlings were passing over constantly together with smaller numbers of Skylarks.
Our small garden at Hanging Houghton attracted a Blackcap, a Chiffchaff and Grey Wagtail.
The Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this afternoon provided views of a Peregrine, 6 Grey Partridges, 2 Bramblings and 10 Tree Sparrows, and Redwings were still on the move!

| Hawfinch. The last week or so has seen an invasion of this normally scarce and localised species to the UK... |
