Dark-eyed junco

Went down to the New Forest today to see the Dark-eyed junco ( a small grey american bunting) at the Hawkhill enclosure,the bird showed well on & off between 10.30-11.00am.
Also at Hawkhill were at least 15 crossbills showing very well,the red males looking stunning in the winter sunlight.
Afterwards I  went on to Dennys wood and found marsh tit, nuthatch, treecreeper, redpoll, siskin, and large flocks of fieldfare,but missed the great grey shrike that had been seen on the heath several times that day.
