NF Photo 110805 in Beckershov

Som ni ser så gillar den här korsnäbben Lärkträdets kottar. Den häckar mestadels i Ryssland men i år tycks vi ha fått en invasion för det finns just nu många i Sverige. Kanske de svängde fel någonstans på väg söderut.
As you can see this crossbill likes the cones of the Larch tree. It breeds mostly in Russia but this year we seem to have an invasion of them right now. Maybe they took a wrong turn somewhere on their way south.

  2. Jösses vilka läckra fåglar, men honan har nog glömt ´sminkväskan´. *ler Crossbill var ju lite roligt, som ´plogbill´ ungefär. Den kanske plöjer sig fram i grönskan? Ingvar

  3. It's pleasure to see these kind of birds, male and female. It is fortunate for us, but is it unfortunate for birds?

  17. Or maybe they just saw all that good food while flying over.Just as well they stopped so we could see them too since no-one in Russia is posting birds that I know of.
