How many finches can fit in one small tree ?

I visited Mount Lothian / Cockmuir this morning to see whether the winter finches were still present, and to film them in HD. At least 500 birds were swarming between the stubble fields and the roadside bushes - I have never seen anything quite like this.

Apologies for some shaky camera work but this short movie gives an idea of the spectacle!
