Those first ones are only supposed to be summer visitors in the Scilly isles and only passing through on the south coast in summer so were they in England?

Had these guys turn up at my feeders yesterday - that's a first for me. (sorry about picture quality - taken through the kitchen window - not the best of filters!)

Hi Gaz

These guys were in France - I've got a couple of other 'locals' I'll post later (equally crap quality - kitchen window filter AGAIN!)  but I've never seen these ones so bold or close up (15-20m max) - the French name is Gros Bec or Fat beak !

Excellent AB; I've never had the pleasure of seeing them here.
