With quite a few parrot crossbills being found on the mainland recently - plus the obvious national hawfinch influx of late as well - I opted to have a nose round Parkhurst (probably another severely under watched island location) and see if I could unearth any. But... didn't have such luck finding those this time, or even a common xbill. But I'll certainly keep checking that area and persevere through the winter.
However, just as I was leaving an ickle restless firecrest saved the day and put on a good show, at least up until a walker came bounding along with a massive dog.
