Any entomologists out there that specialise in bumblebees and can confirm this identification?

Hi Dave,
Paul Clough 0745-0900,
Siskin 40+,
Crossbill 8,
Bullfinch 6,
Chiffchaff 1,
Great Tit 5,
Sparrowhawk 1
Chaffinch 10.

Crossbills are something of a rarity at Paul Clough, these gave good views as they fed on Rowan berries opposite the viewing point, looked to be 2 adults and 6 Juveniles.
