Common stuff

I spent a couple of hours at Allerthorpe Common this afternoon, it was a good start with a flock of around 40 Crossbills in the tops of some Silver Birch trees by the entrance gate but another cold day meant the Common itself was fairly quiet, if there were any summer visitors in they were keeping a low profile, a couple of Green Woodpeckers gave me the run around as usual as I tried to photograph them.

Closest I've got to one in a long while
