A belated summer Hawfinch record at Stackpole on 9th July

Paul Culyer (NRW) (when recently returning from holiday) received a fascinating email plus an attached photo from Mark Jones (a Ranger working for the NT at Stackpole). He forwarded Mark's email to us last night.

".... please find enclosed the photo of the Hawfinch in my back garden at Stackpole Court on July 9th.  It stayed around just long enough for me to take a few quick snaps of it.  Definitely a tick in my book! "


Here is Mark's lucky image of the hawfnch near a feeding blackbird.

You never know what might turn up anywhere and at any time do you?

We wonder, has it summered in the area (in nearby Lodge Park perhaps?).
