A rather unexpected garden first

Having put the world to rights last night with Ian Rowlands of "Planet Whales (http://www.planetwhale.com/)
a good strong mug of tea was much needed this morning as we sat out in the early morning sunshine before his departure. Ahhh... said Ian , Crossbills! Five finch like birds flew over head giving their metallic almost greenfinchy  chip chip call . I have to say I would not have got them were it not for Ian, but a nice start to the day and a new and unexpected garden tick!
