Single hawfinch briefly in the garden in Mitchel Troy yesterday, which prompted a quick walk to the churchyard where at least five more birds (four flying from a yew and one perched on top of another yew). Today, at least nine hawfinch in the churchyard, feeding in dense part of a yew, before flying. Making ‘clicking’ type noises, very excited, probably by nearby grey squirrel.
