Observation details
Initially heard what seemed a little off for our usual Red Crossbills. After about 2 minutes of hearing the sound I was fairly confident I was hearing White-winged and not Red. Being persistent and waiting as close as possible to the sound of the bird, the bird then flew over me giving me a short window to get some terrible record shots. Two white wing bars are clearly visible in one shot. Also got a poor distant recording of its unique calls, will try and upload later. First heard from the summit then seen in the NW section of the hill. Relocated once on the south side where the bird again flew over head and back to the NW section. Failed to relocate the bird after this point.
