Two-barred Crossbill


This was for me the best bird of the trip as it was a new one for my list and is such an intense colour. We waited for quite a while in a blizzard for it to appear at a garden bird table. I managed to get this one while it was perching in the apple tree. Pretty noisy as it was getting late in the afternoon and therefore I had to use high ISO but I like the atmosphere of the low light and snow

The slightly pink background colour goes with the bird beautifully. I can see what's going to be on your Christmas cards this year...
