X is pretty close to where we saw the
White-fronted Chats on 20th May. Following Julian's report, we returned there on
Saturday and found all the finches described amongst the blackberry clumps
extending south of X (as well as the robins and pipits we had seen
previously). Y was where we saw numerous goldfinches.
Julian has the naming rights on 'Finch Central' so
we should leave the final word to him, but I reckon X marks the
spot.
Incidentally, our strike rate so far
is:
White-fronted Chat: 50%
Red-capped Robin: 100%
Flame Robin: 100%
Scarlet Robin: 0%
(The Flame Robins have been the most
numerous.)
Leo.
