It turned out to be a really lovely session with a disperate bunch of fellow birders from all over, there for the same reasons - and over the course of a few hours, we had some fabulous fly-bys and drama from a total of three birds (two females and a male), as well as interactions with Common Buzzards and Ravens.
As well as the HB show, there was plenty to enjoy - about 70 Crossbills (clearly a good breeding season), lots of Siskins, a Willow Tit, five Ravens, lots of the commoner raptors, singing Tree Pipit, a couple of Redpolls and plenty of Willow Warblers among a supporting cast.
