[Andy Guppy]

Hi All,

Live in Scotland and now 55, i am at the age of bird bucket lists , one of which is a Hawfinch i would really appreciate any help in the welsh area of Dolgellau that can help me perhaps obtain one or two picture so i may remove from my tick list.

I have recently became disabled in last 4 years and im keen to finish my bucket lists.

Anyone help , i travrlling 9th April for a week, any advice or anyone who perhaps has a feeder active with these lovely birds and would like oto help out would be appreciated

Regards

Hi Andy and welcome back to Wales. Take a look at this thread: Hawfinches In Conwy, North Wales

Might give you some ideas. Good luck.

Llanrwst might be a better bet these days. I'll dig out the details for you when I've got a moment.

Hi Andy and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. All things Scottish can be found here. Also, keep an eye on threads titled something like Scottish Bashes; we try to meet up occasionally and they're always great fun. You'd be most welcome to join us on another if you can manage.

I'm not sure where you are in Scotland, but if you're anywhere near the Perth area Hawfinch can generally be seen at Scone Palace in the winter months

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

I was at Llanrwst on Monday.
Three birds visible in trees from the children's play area near the cafe next to the bridge.
I have seen a site I haven’t heard of before mentioned iin the last few days. Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd (near Ruthin) at St Mary and St. Cynfarch

Near Dolgellau, I've seen Hawfinches in the yews in the churchyard in Llanelltyd several times.
They breed in the area but can be hard to pin down - keep your eyes peeled! Good luck.
