Parrot Crossbill
Loxia pytyopsittacus
These bigger billed birds sometimes irrupt to Britain and were first recorded breeding in Norfolk in 1984 and 1985 and then in Scotland and Breckland in 1991. Display has now been seen elsewhere and pockets of breeding birds of this species may already be established.
