Birding/Shopping Trip No.3

Another shopping trip with a 'birdy' twist today. As soon as I saw a tweet this morning from Andy saying that there were Hawfinches in the church yard at Norton-Sub-Hamden a hastily arranged shopping trip was conceived and 25 minutes later I had joined the small crowd watching these heavyweights of the finch family.
There were around 7 birds showing when I arrived although later arrivals to see them counted over 10 individuals. The light was too poor for any decent photo opportunities so I just enjoyed the spectacle of seeing these great birds so close to home before leaving to pick up some shopping in Crewkerne.
