They do exist Gill, honestly! I had my first good sighting of a small flock in some scattered bushes earlier in the year. I was sat on a bank high above Cressbrook Dale and the hawthorn bushes were about 30ft below me. At first glance, I saw what I thought were Chaffinches but the more I looked, the more I knew they weren't! Out came the bino's and bingo!
My brother lives about 13 miles away from me and sees them every year....or so he tells me!
Don't give up!
