Hawfinch have been reported this week in Black Gutter Bottom along with Crossbills and it is a good area for Hen Harriers. This area and across to Pitts Wood which is about 2K South is also known for Great Grey Shrike which has also been reported this week and on and off all winter. These sites are about 3 miles E of Fordingbridge on the South side of the B3078. Approx Grid SU200140

Usually on a different wavelength
I can only add Blackwater Arboretum for Hawfinch, some birds roost there and can be seen from approximately 4.00 pm, usually in the trees on the left just through the gate. (SU 266 047)
Dartfords? Not too hard to find, listen to a recording of their voice before you go and then keep an eye open for a small dark bird diving into the bottom of a gorse bush.
