Banbury Crossbill Flock
My wife and I have just seen a flock of Crossbills passing through the pines in our local park (St Louis Meadow Park) in Banbury on our way to the supermarket. These were lifers for us both but sight, behaviour, and sound all confirmed. We're wondering whether last night's stormy weather had anything to do with this?
Cheers,
Dave
Great sighting! There's a crossbill irruption going on at the moment with birds being seen across the country. It's good to know that Oxon is getting its share. I'm going to have to get out there to see if I can add them to the county year list!
