On this day (February 20th)....................

February 20th 2009.

Common Crossbill in Hakodate.

This female was in the small park near my flat, this is only a very small crop as it was very tame. ISO 800 too, usually a no-no on my old 400D but this one turned out OK.

None of this species in Hakodate so far this year (and none in 2010 either) although I did see a small flock in Onuma last weekend.........
