thanks, | I think you have to go over the border into Naarfolk, to Lynford Arboretum.
I assume they are there this year as usual.
You need to walk down the slope, over all the water to the fields.
Check Bird-gides. |

Check Bird-gides. | Agree with Hobjob. Try the paddock under the holmn oaks. Its supposed to be pretty reliable in late autumn and through the winter.
I'll let you know when i'm going because they never show for me but everyone one else I know has seen them there!!!

Hi
Im in suffolk, no sign of any here although plenty of swifts, house martins and swallows, up on last year in my opinion. A few sparrowhawks lurking about. Considering the harsh winter birds are plentiful and in good health. Thank you debbie |

Hi you will be too early for Lynford Arboretum, leave it until the winter.
Not sure where you are based but also in the winter around the chapel in Clumber Park, near Retford in Nottinghamshire.
Happy hunting.

You lucky blighters, I've only ever seen those chunky chappies in bird cages! 
I'd love to watch them in the natural.
I'm off to check the photos here ......
Cheers
Dick
P.S. I'd forgotten how attractive they are, almost Waxwings with big beaks! YouTube - British Birds Hawfinch
