Hi all, I stumbled upon a small flock of Crossbills this morning which made me really quite happy, apart from the fact they kept themselves at the tips of the highest trees in the area but, while I was attempting to get some reasonable shots of them, I noticed that this tree (there are more than one ) was full of birds of all types so .....
I thought I'd post a few shots, see who can spot them all and ID the majority of them? There are a few bird-bits here and there but if you can't make out enough to ID, ignore it, I did
Just for fun sorry, no prizes

Some of these were a surprise to me at the editing stage, the light wasn't great up there when I was taking these.
Well spotted and photographed Scozmos; At first glance, I can see Crossbill, Blue Tit, male Bullfinch, Goldfinch, Lesser Redpoll ? Siskin
