Hawfinches at bird photography hide

As promised, after the other blog post about finches on 10 June 2016 at the photography hide, now a blog post especially about hawfinches. Like this one, in the morning. It is a recently fledged bird, as, eg, its yellow throat, not yet black, shows.

Later, in the afternoon, there was a young hawfinch as well. It must have been another individual, as it already had more black on its throat.

These photos show adult hawfinches.

As do these ones.

In the afternoon, a young hawfinch bathed.

While the water drops splashed around.
