Hawfinch
Scientific name: Coccothraustes coccothraustes
This beautiful bird is the UK larges finch! Did you know they are powerful enough to crush a cherry stone!
Hawfinches are mostly in woodlands across England, north and south Wales and parts of southern Scotland
These lovely birds are on the red list, so maybe harder to see around your local area.
Hawfinches enjoy eating seeds, buds and shoots.
We would love to know if you have seen any in your garden!
