In search of the Hawfinch

I visited a part of Orlestone Forest this afternoon that I had not been to before, to find a Hawfinch that a friend of mine told me had been seen in this area.  I spent around 2 hours walking around, waiting for dusk to fall and see if I could hear or see the Hawfinch come to roost.  However it was quite windy and overcast at times, threatening to rain and there was no sign of the elusive bird.  I did however see 2 parties of Long Tailed Tit's, intermingled with Blue Tits.  Just as I was about to give up for the day and leave a party of  15 Siskin's flew over and landed in a tree, which was a bonus as these are the first ones I have seen this Autumn.  So no Hawfinch, but that hopefully is for another day.
