Early Spring is the very best time to capture Hawfinches. This time there is no foliage in the forest and up 100 individuals visiting our drinking hide daily. 2012 March is particularly good as we have an absolute rainless period and the forest is very dry. It is simply amazing to watch  the Hawfinches in all sort of plumages and their behaviour.

We created a gallery on our facebook page where you can see a lot more images. Please check it out!

If you like Hawfinches you need to come and see it yourself!
