I went to check the woodland areas in the hope of Crossbills. Unfortunately most of the Scots Pines are without mature cones and there are very few Spruce trees. The latter being the favoured tree for Crossbills when the cones are mature.
One female Siskin was a nice surprise - seen collecting nesting material.
