Hawfinch in Hoenderloo I'm happy with this observation. The first time I've seen this bird with my own eyes, and one of the main birds we were hoping to see when renting this bird watching house. The bird is not rare, it's just not often seen due to it living in high trees and being quite shy. Coccothraustes coccothraustes,Hawfinch,Hoenderloo Click/tap to enlarge

    Lovely bird, lucky you! I really like the reflections in the water too, almost tilt shift. Posted 10 years ago

      Now that you say, things do look a little miniature. It was not intentional, however :) Posted 10 years ago
