Easter surprise
27 Years I've been living in this tiny village in the Netherlands and in all of those years I only saw a Hawfinch once. Until 3 days ago...
Last week it was almost 25 degrees here in Holland (yaayyy, sunbathing!! :-)) but around Easter the weather changed completely; cold, windy and snow and hail storms! Usually, with spring arriving I stop feeding the birds in my garden but with this terrible weather I decided to fill the feeding table in my garden for a little bit longer.
On Easter Sunday I looked outside and as usual, the table was filled with all kinds of birds but 3 of them looked unusually big.. Hawfinch! 2 males and 1 female. Shot this yesterday straight through the living room window because I didn't want to disturb them.
I would usually curse the snow this late in the season but now... It sure made for a nice backdrop!!
