Hawfinch finale 4

Hawfinch finale 4 (Coccothraustes coccothraustes)

The very last one until I get some new pictures.

We had a great mini trip to the northern part of the Stockholm archipelago. It didn't start too well but the garden of the hostel where we were staying turned out to be full of small birds and we saw a White-tailed Eagle being mobbed by a Hobby and a flock of Long-tailed Tits yesterday.

Off to Scotland this evening to see my dad for a few days. Back late on Saturday night.

Thanks you all very much for posting these great comments on this picture and indeed all the Hawfinch images I've posted.

The Long-tailed Tits would have been very bold indeed Wilma but I fear there is a comma missing in that sentence.

The weather in Scotland was awful but I discovered a group of Sandwich Terns at the old pier so there were some bright spots.
