Despite the windy and cold weather birders ventured out on the Saturday morning bird walk to discover the flock of White winged Crossbills we saw last week- were still in the Garden- but now they were joined by Common Redpolls! Despite the cloudy skies we were able to make out at least 2 Red Crossbills as well.
