Crossbills

Some images taken at a new location for me in Beds, there were also a number of siskins and a single redpoll

Goshawk

Sadly not a wild bird, this was on a falconers arm.

Bittern

One of two seen by me at Brogborough, the other one was skating disconsolately around the ice on a bitterly cold January day

Ring necked parakeet

A trip to Staines moor to see the Brown shrike turned into a 'dip' and I had no opportunity to use the camera until we got back to the car and found this chap in a tree next to it!
