Although our visiting two-barred crossbill has been only been present intermittently around the Binn Green view point, there has been some singing heard from him in the last few days, and he does appear to be getting tamer. The call is quite an obviously different 'toot' along with some more typical crossbill 'chips', and the song has a very distinctive short trill. This terrific photo below was taken by visitor Tanmay Dixit - many thanks Tanmay for allowing us to share. The bird fed on larch to the right of the viewpoint for a good half an hour on Monday afternoon. You can see in the picture here how the top bill crosses over to the left - this makes it a left billed crossbill (as well as two- barred!). Blackcap heard singing this morning, and I'm sure butterflies and bumble-bees will be enjoying the sun too.
