I've seen this pair of Common Crossbill in the same location in Matlock Forest several times during the past month and I'm hoping that they might be a breeding pair.
I've seen juveniles with adults several times in the autumn but only once managed to prove breeding, in April 2020 when I saw an adult feeding recently fledged young. I suspect one or two pairs breed most years but it's not easy to confirm this.
I haven't managed to find any more migrants in the current cold and wet weather.
