Incredibly a Hawfinch my second ever record flew low to the N at 09.00 this morning at Caldene Fields watch point!!!! I use the word ‘incredibe ‘ as the species is uncommon in the Bradford area and is described as a ‘ Infrequent visitor ‘ by the Bradford Ornithological Group and bizarrely the last record for the group of a Hawfinch was my record on the 5/11/2012……
Also of note today were 2 late Swallows and a hybrid Mute/whooper swan had me scratching my head as it flew N…..possibly the same bird recorded at a nearby Harold Park lake in 2012!
