Parrot Crossbill

To cut a long story short, I was away in York for a none birding family break and having enjoyed a bit of quality time with them for two days, I twitched the four stunning Parrot Crossbill at Gunners Park in Shoeburyness Essex on the way home. The light and weather was not to good for photography but I'm more than happy to catch up with all four of them and the fact they still hanged around for the second day. Their call was slighty deeper the Common and the bill seems spot on too, again alot deeper than Common. Having been good numbers in Europe I think we may see more on our shores.
