Two-barred Crossbill



A new UK bird for Karen. These crossbills were at Stocksbridge, Yorks. They were mixed in with 150 common crossbills that constantly flew round and round. With a few hundred sets of eyes watching the top of every tree, we weren't too long before someone found one. Viewing was not easy and photography was near impossible, but saw them we certainly did. Karen got stung by a wasp and shocked the onlookers by her choice of language ! Good job there was another female birder there with some wasp ease in her bag ! Thank you x
