A look at Birds of Europe shows the Common and Two-barred Crossbills to be quite similar to our Red and White-winged, that's quite the bill on the Parrot Crossbill!

These images are absolutely stunning.
I...Hi Phil. These images are absolutely stunning. <br /><br />I think that the Crossbill situation is even more complex over on this side of the pond. Our most common crossbill is - the Common Crossbill (although not exactly common in most parts). We then have the Parrot Crossbill and the Scottish Crossbill which are difficult to tell from the Common and each other unless you have one in each hand, or a recording to analyse. We also have Two-barred Crossbill (very rare), which looks somewhat like your White-winged Crossbill (our Common also looks a bit like your Red Crossbill).Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975617599658604274.post-61013226790988608822012-11-15T16:37:55.797-05:002012-11-15T16:37:55.797-05:00superb!
