Crossbills

 Part one. Last Sunday I drove up to Derwent Reservoir to see if any Crossbills were around. As soon as I drove into the carpark I could see photographers pointing their cameras at some pine trees. I got the camera gear out of the car and I managed to get some shots while they were in the trees. It wasn’t long before they came down to a small puddle to have a drink not bothered at all by the four photographers who were busy snapping away. To say they showed well is an understatement.

I’m not sure if these are female or juvenile Crossbill.
