An amazing find! A Common Rosefinch in Melbourn! News was very slow to be released but after an initial dip with Tom and Marcus Kohler, the three of us returned in the evening when it had been re-found. Not the most exciting of individuals (obviously first-summer male; it was constantly singing) but a new bird for Tom only a mile or so away from home. A couple of photos by James Hanlon can be found here and here.
A Yellow Wagtail and a good number of House Sparrows were also seen whilst searching for the Rosefinch.
