Stenknäck - Coccothraustes coccothraustes - Hawfinch

 A flock of Hawfinch outside my window on the third floor. I have been lucky to see them this winter. This time it was 10 of them. The largest group so far.

 A pair being watched by a third bird, a male.

 Male feeding the female! Can I hope for a nesting pair? Acc to the book this tree would be fine. That would be a treat. :)

    These are great birds - I only saw them about 4 times in the UK - cant imagine having them in the garden!

    Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW- Stewart M - Melbourne

    Så härliga bilder! Kul att du fick se dem utanför ditt fönster. Skulle ju vara kul om de gjorde bo där.
    Söta matningsbilder! :)
