Angus Glens - Glen Doll
Five Common Crossbills (Loxia curvirostra) on Sitka Spruce, Glen Doll. Crossbills often feed in flocks. These diurnal birds do not migrate but outside the breeding season they range widely searching for good conifer seed crops. They adapt well to cold weather and appear to move as a response to the availability of cone crops. Mass movements occur most often in the autumn, when the conifer cones ripen
