    Well composed just a great shot. If you haden,t seen one of these birds before you might be forgiven to think that it is deformed. Well done Jivko. Posted 10 years ago

The Red Crossbill

The Red Crossbill is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae, also known as the Common Crossbill in Eurasia. Crossbills have distinctive mandibles, crossed at the tips, which enable them to extract seeds from conifer cones and other fruits.
