Crossbills

Five Crossbills flew over the Cambridge, near the station, at lunchtime today. Very little to see in the botanic gardens apart from a large female Sparrowhawk. New for the winter at Fowlmere this evening were five Siskins and two benches! Also several Pied Wagtails flying east somewhere to roost; a Buzzard (also one near Foxton), about two hundred Starlings swirling around the reedbed, and a Pipistrelle.
