Crossbills (Parakeet)

Recent Xbill counts: 59 (North) over Haddon's Pits yesterday (July 3rd) and 51 (various directions) over Luccombe Down/Nansen Hill this morning (July 4th). Plus, a few Siskin starting to appear. Otherwise, pretty quiet for me of late - but proper autumn migration isn't far off now....

An odd 'Island tick' for me came in the form of a Ring-necked Parakeet heard (calling) at a Ryde location not far from Appley on July 2nd. Local IOW sightings of this species have increased in recent years it would seem.
