Coccothraustes . . . is that a cereal ? . . .

Went up onto Barrow Tip this morning to take some landscape photos and was treated to a male Hawfinch flying low west which then landed in a tree on Pit lane. Managed to get the bird and my house in the same binocular vision . . . does this class as a house tick?! . . . . Other highlights included 12 Yellowhammer and Buzzard. Worsbrough res is 98% ice, Water Rail, male Gadwall and 17 Tufted were the main highlights.
