Crossbills seem to be omnipresent around @FI_Obs at the moment with high single figures seen most days. The Obs garden is a favoured spot for them, where they occasionally make their way into one of the mist nets, allowing for a rare chance to admire them upclose.

Well, why not? Cute. Filmed on phone at 30cm thru open window. All credit to the magnificent @ScotSquirrels team. Reds not seen here in Aberdeen 'burbs till a couple of years ago, and no Greys for a long time now. Brilliant work. Thank you.

Not all the Nathusius' Pipistrele #Bats are tucked up in bed yet. This one here last night in #Aberdeen, though it was a very mild night.

There are still occasional #bats out and about in this freezing weather with snow on the ground. Natterer's Bats are rare in the garden, but there was one last night - probably the latest ever in the NE.

Excellent news about #Nightjars from Ireland. Fits well with the developing picture in Scotland too.
