11th November..... Crossbills.

This afternoon Stewart & myself visited the Hale End of Wendover Woods to check out the Common Crossbill flock located yesterday by Mike & Ted Wallen. After a short 10 minute walk up the track, we came across a couple of birders who had been watching a Male feeding at the top of a Spruce tree for at least half an hour.






































A small flock of 6 birds flew further up the track as we watched, so we decided to try our luck with them. It didn't take long to find a very agitated bird, calling, from the upper most branch of another Spruce, it didn't hang around & was soon off. The reason drifted into view as a Sparrow Hawk went over.
