From casual conversation ,seem to remember being told to park near the golf club entrance,then as always with hawfinches scan the tree tops as you walk down the track..?

Park near the golf club entrance (there is a no parking sign but I think that refers to the track - everyone just pulls off the road and parks there) then go up the track and keep looking!! 5 seen today (not by me, when we got there it was raining and there was a shoot going on so everything was hiding). Also Red Kite in the area - we saw it and the two hawfinches last week and several people have seen it since, including first thing this morning.

Hi, do you mean walk up the track outside the wall? (not inside the golf course)

Yes ,park in layby/side of road near the blue no parking sign,then walk up the track directly next to the sign,not into the walled area,best spot is the tops of the big lime trees with all the mistletoe about 50 yds up the track on your left.
