A crossbill for Paint Party Friday this week. A very strange looking bird and not one I have ever seen. A member of the finch family and regularly comes over from the Continent and breeds in various places in the UK where there are mature conifers. It eats pine seeds. The female is green and I don't think the male is as deep a red as my painting.
I have seen this bird here occasionaLLY!
