Parrot Crossbill quiz.......
From yesterdays blog, I agree with Martin, the image looks good for a Parrot Crossbill.
Looking at the plumage on the image this appears to be a 1st year male as there are a few juvenile feathers still evident. A first year bird will not have the depth of bill of an adult and this is pointed out in the Svensson ringing book. Also, the mandibles do not appear to cross, as in Common Crossbill, so this is in favour of Parrot. So, back up to Broomhead for a good side image!
