Approx. 12:30 this afternoon I was in the garden potting up some indoor plants when I noticed 3 birds fly in and settle in the top of one of the garden trees.
I realised pretty quickly that they were 3 Hawfinch…………….. No bins……………… No camera…………….expletive!!!!!!!!!
All I could do was stand and watch and after approx. 1 minute they then flew off and headed across the meadow towards the playing field where I lost sight of them.
Interesting point here is that back sometime in the 60’s, Bill Campbell the headmaster of Cholsey School caught a Hawfinch in a Heligoland trap in his garden.
The garden where the Heligoland trap was......is now part of our garden!
Several Redwing and Fieldfare overhead.
This morning, 60+ Golden Plover present on Cholsey Hill.
W.D. (Bill) Campbell, the inspiration for quite a few Cholsey lads!
