For some reason - 22 years of birding and I still haven't had even a sniff of Hawfinch.
This year this is my target bird.... I know they like to stay high up in the trees in old and well established decidious woodland, however, I ain't a clue on where these woodlands are. I've tried the usual woodlands but I just don't get the feeling they would be there. And I know they can be a bit of a **** to find.
Has anybody got an idea of where the best is to look.
I live in North Yorks and travel down to the midlands (Wolverhampton) on a regular basis so any where in these areas would be good.
I would be eternally grateful... also I haven't had a lifer for 3 (THREE) years... so please help (nb - I would lower my very high standards and twitch for this one bird)
