Crossbill at Altitude

A great afternoon walk up to the Croix de Chaux with a friend who has sharper eyes than me. She spotted this Crossbill. He allowed us to get quite close, but did not turn to show us if he was just a Crossbill, or a Two-barred Crossbill, which has white stripes on the wings. We also spotted some chamois but they saw us first!

Thanks for all the lovely comments, etc. for yesterday's chalet in the sunset, I won't be able to thank you personally, or comment, tonight as we have no. 1 granddaughter and some friends coming round for a raclette. Do join us if you are in the area!
