Hawfinch

I normally do a 2 hour shift at Stainborough but today I did 3 and right at the end of my shift I found a Hawfinch!  The bird was in the section of the Wentworth Castle Gardens known as "The Wilderness".  At the top of Lady Lucy's Walk there is an information board labelled "Lady Lucy's Walk" carry on north up the path for about 100 metres and on the right is a very obvious dead tree with lots of holes.  At 3.17 the bird flew into the tree immediately north of this onto a branch level with the top of the dead tree.  Obviously it has moved but it might help you to start from where I saw it.  I am not signed up for tweeting so pass it on.  The gardens close at 3pm - open 11am.
