TJS said:Hi Bob, Lovely sequence of a bird I've still yet to encounter. The pose and light on the last picture is particularly striking. We get occasional reports of them here in Suffolk but so far any attempt to see them has been unsuccessful, and sadly there's been no reports of them in Suffolk this winter that I've noticed. My wife would love to know where you saw them, anywhere near Suffolk? Many thanks for sharing, Trevor
County Durham - come on up
TJS said:Thanks Bob, We're headed for the Cairngorms and Aigas near Inverness next month, so perhaps we'll be lucky with Crossbills then. Trevor
If you don't see them there, drop in here on the way back past - we are about 30 minutes from the A1
Lot to learn
