Hello.
Had good views of this adult male Crossbill feeding a juv in the car park at Glen Doll the other day. I thought it looked like a regular common xbill but the calls sounded a wee bit deeper than the crossbills I encountered in Norfolk a few weeks ago. Have attached two medicore pictures. Plus the link below is to a video file which shows nothing but you can hear them contact calling (above the sound of my parents having a conversation). If any crossbill boffins could confirm that these are indeed common xbill I'd be most grateful!.
I know the sound recording is awful, but I remember Linz once said even a bad recording should suffice!!
