High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes) is a species of finch with a limited, fairly scarce breeding distribution in Great Britain. It is more abundant further south and east in Europe and Asia. In the 18th century, the Hawfinch was recorded as only a rare winter visitor in Britain. The first breeding record was early in the 19th century; by the early 1830s, a well-documented colony was established at Epping Forest in Essex, and breeding was also recorded in other counties east and south of London. Further expansion of the range continued through the 19th and 20th centuries, with breeding occurring as far north as Aberdeenshire by 1968–1972. Peak numbers were in the period 1983–1990. Subsequently, there has been a significant decline of between 37% and 45% between 1990–1999.
