Hawfinches

Just come off Lundy where I personally saw at least four Hawfinches on the 18th and two on the 19th. I believe they, collectively, have had as many as six in a day recently. Unfortunately one of them, a first winter, died of starvation. There was not a scrap of muscle on the thing. Also had two Leach's Petrels on the outward crossing, the day after the last storm.
