Linnet - Beeston Regis

About a month or so ago the weather was warm and sunny, and many birds were just pairing up. This is always a good time to see birds out in the open and often on perches. They're staking out their territory and keeping an eye out for what's around.
One bird that was in abundance in Norfolk, was the Linnet. They seemed to be every 1 in 3 birds seen. I'm sure they weren't, but they were everywhere and very showy. Of course, if you have a camera with you this gives ample opportunity to try and get some pictures.

    I guess that in Norfolk they still have heathland habitat, the Linnet's favourite. The Linnet is now pretty scarce in the Fylde, no thanks to farming changes. The major numbers now are migrants and wintering ones from the north. Nice pics Adam.
