Arrived at Back Lane, Ogden 1445hrs just in time to see the end on the rain / snow with brightening skies but a cold NNE >4.
As Ive said before, Crossbills and me just dont get on and I have never had chance to get a half decent photo and today was no exception . After trekking around the plantation and standing on the horse path for over 1 hour nothing, then suddenly 3 flew over from the Giants Tooth only to drop down deep into the plantation and out of sight.
