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.
