My first post as a new participant and it is my first hawfinch.
I have waited the whole summer. I have seen him a lot, but never got a good shot! And now finally I got one... I'm very happy!
I made this photo in park "De Hoge Veluwe". There is a small bird-cabin which for photographers and of course birds will visit the cabin.
You can put some food to get several birds at site, but the hawfinch will sometimes come... only to drink in a small pool.
So you have to be lucky and quit, because the hawfinch is a very shy bird.
