Parrot Crossbills?

Mayday FarmWent to Mayday Farm for a few hours early afternoon. Found a good ‘candidate’ male Parrot Crossbill, in the location that a flock had been reported. However, I dismissed this as being a Common Crossbill, of which I saw about twenty in total. However, I’m fairly sure the birds I had seen were later reported as being Parrot Crossbills. Having spent many hours looking through photos, the male bird I saw may have been a Parrot. Not convinced though, so I plan to return.
