The hawfinch was eating the sunflower seeds on the ground, not the nuts in the containers, must be a seed eater or maybe there were too many chaffinches and blue tits on the nuts for him to bother getting into a skirmish. Just looked him up and he is a seed eater and apparently extremely wary flying off at the slightest sound. So the two readers with good photos did well. Malc will be at the window all day with his camera hoping he returns. In French he is called a " grosbec casse-noyaux."
In Dutch " appelvink"
Malcolm has just read this post and says it reads as if he is called a 'grosbec casse -noyaux.!' I am more grosbec, he is more retrusse in the nose stakes.
