Attempted to see the long staying (but sometimes difficult to see) Hawfinches in Bramfield Churchyard. No sign after a couple of hours. Quite a birdy place though. Around 300 Golden Plover over, a showy Nuthatch, and a Red Kite.
Went to Amwell afterwards to try and connect with the Smew. Found a drake and a redhead. The roost has pretty much finished now, but a first winter Yellow-legged Gull showed well.
