West wight

This week, weather wise, was dire. Mist reduced visibility to 20 yards. Only hope really was for something grounded. Suffice to say nothing much to report.

Going through some photos from last week's Vis mig I spotted one of a bird that looked interesting though; wondering if it was a Crossbill; don't recall hearing it. Picture quality duff just to add to the mystery.



Its general shape and it appears to show a hooked bill
