Birds > Passerine > Red crossbill Loxia curvirostra

info

Less than 100 grams of weight and 30 cm of wingspan but how much it differs from the whole passerine family, because of its distinctive bill. In Poland I could not see crossbills, but thanks to Johann and his friend (Orn – I send you my greetings and thanks for commemorative pictures of the photo and recording session) I managed to take quite a lot pictures of crossbill’s family. Yes, it was recording session as well, for it was no problem to record the Crossbill’s voice, actually its young. Almost grown-up crossbill was sitting next to an adult bird and was giving out loud sounds, what was easy to record. Crossbills (males –in red, females - olive-brown) were feeding in the company of four of their children. This is how the family gallery of common crossbills was created on my website, composed of photos taken during my stay in Iceland.
