Will do my best to track down some Crossbills and get a few of their calls onto disc. Might try and stop off over your way on our way back down - will e-mail you when I know details.Stephen Menziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551107103409424790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882933975489026894.post-8212728295034974112009-07-05T22:42:09.649+01:002009-07-05T22:42:09.649+01:00Hi Alistair,

The 'bar' just seems too brown. Also, see most recent post !<br /><br />LindsayLindsay Cargill (aka Loxiafan)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17366997188994358582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882933975489026894.post-85538552592989375872009-07-05T21:09:22.627+01:002009-07-05T21:09:22.627+01:00Lindsay,

I was interested in the shape of the white of the tertials on the female Orkney bird, the white seemed quite broad rather than just a pale fringe. Clearly the actual wing bars were pretty weak. <br /><br />I would be surprised if there were not some more of these tricky ids in this current invasion. Thanks again.<br /><br />AlastairAlastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129076714821313669noreply@blogger.com
