Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit ampheta
I was able to follow them for about 20 minutes and they were feeding actively, but as is normally the way with Crossbills, eventually they flew off and I lost them. There's no shortage of suitable habitat round there and they make plenty of noise as they fly round so it's quite possible that they could be refound. They were quite mobile but not particularly shy when settled so I might try and get some better photos at the weekend (especially if they get reported again!)
