That's a pretty bird! Are they native?

They are plenty of them around. They breed here . This is a young male.

We have Cross-bills in Europe too, tho' I've never been lucky enough to see one. Yours is looking a bit bedraggled. Perhaps he's just tired!

He is sitting on top of the feeder having a snooze after a good meal :-)
