Red crossbills outside the kitchen window

I am still waiting for my somewhat younger and better camera body to arrive back from camera hospital. In the meantime I'm still using what I've been calling my muckicam, a 13-year-old Olympus E-P2. It's not bad within limits -- I suppose like any camera -- but it's harder to find the limits and stay within them than with my OM-D.

This was this morning when the Red crossbills flocked in for an hour. There seems to be about a dozen who are hanging out in our neighbourhood. And the adult males are getting redder by the day.
