26/10/2013 –  A trip to Kent to try and see the Two Barred and Parrot Crossbills at Hemsted Forest 3 miles East of Cranbrook. In dull and fairly windy conditions I managed to see the Two Barred Crossbill after a couple of hours wait. No Parrot Crossbills were seen. We then went to Dungeness which is always an interesting if slightly weird place to visit.
