More Crossbills
Still at least 30 Crossbills in the plantation at Walshaw Dean today. Managed to phone scope a Juv/female on maximum fire power, scope on 60x with a little bit of digital zoom on the camera phone. The birds can be very flighty so a lot of patience may be needed.
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

Saw a group of 5 or 6 today at the plantation. So happy to see them. Thanks for posting. A life tick!!
Glad you caught up with them, always a special bird to see, lets hope they stay around for the winter.
