Cothill: Hitchcopse Pit
15 Common Crossbill: South end of pit. 2 overhead picked up by flight calls, landed in nearby (c.50M) shrub. Bins revealed 5 birds, including brick-red male. Whilst clumsily mating camera to 'scope a dog walker flushed them and I was surprised to see c.15 take to the air. Despite the odd flight call being heard an hours search could not relocate them. Wanderers from the largely coniferous (and off limits!) Tubney Woods?.
