Nice shots Ron.
The Furthest Twitch?
On Wednesday Dave Standring spoke to a guy who had travelled to see the crossbills from North of Inverness! And he had come on public transport! From Sheffield he took a bus to Stocksbridge then walked up to Bolsterstones and down to Broomhead. And yes, he saw the Two-barred's before returning home the same route. He had earlier twitch the species on Orkney but dipped. Can anyone further that?

Yes Gray, I have travelled to Shetland and dipped many times. Maybe that's not what you meant!
