A trip to the local Crossbill hotspot yesterday - saw one, lots of Siskin and some of the other locals.
First Small Tortoiseshell of the year
Cock Pheasant
Treecreeper
Coal Tit
Female Chaffinch
Siskin
Male Chaffinch
Crossbill - there is some discussion as to whether this is a non red male. Don't know if anyone knows whether this is possible.
Brilliant photos Bob, I hope you get the answer to your crossbill query.
