7 Hawfinches in Castle Caereinion


Many thanks to Aneurin Lloyd for letting me post this fine portrait, taken today in the churchyard of St Garmon's Church, feeding on yew berries. Meurig has added that there were 7, but that they are not likely to stay around long!

      No sightings this afternoon either,I wouldn't imagine there far away,they at least know there is food source there.
