Winter Birding Penduline Tit and Parrot Crossbill a couple of Lifers

Winter birding has been better than the Autumn resulting in two species to add to my life list. I don't know how I haven't seen Penduline Tit abroad but I haven't but I got great views of one in Gloustershire on a very cold day. The second bird is Parrot Crossbill I saw 12 of these in Derwentdale but they never came close enough to get good photos. In addition managed to see a few Hawfinch, it might be a few years until I see these again after the recent big influx. I've also been up to Whitby to photograph a Desert Wheatear which showed better than expected.
