Marbury Park 9th January 2017

We made our first birding outing of the year to Marbury where there had been reports of Hawfinches again but, although we met people who had seen them (or thought they had), we didn’t manage to see the. Our last outing of 2017 was for the same purpose but was similarly disappointing.

We did see god numbers of Goosander on the water – six in total and there were the usual birds one finds there. We also got Buzzard and Kestrel and a few Redwing. A great Spotted Woodpecker is always nice and we got thirty-six birds in total – but none of them Hawfiches !
