Thanks guy's, I was just about to bin 6 pics similar to the one I posted but I will keep them now, might never see a Linnet again. Just need to buy better software to clean them up.

Yes I did, It's not that good another few mtrs closer and it would have been better, but I did not want to push my luck.There was two of them there that day.

Noticed a decline in these guys this year , harsh weather may have taken it's toll , i'm afraid.

Thanks very much, I spend so much time watching the birds, I love it, trying to get some flying shots but very difficult to get them, my feeders are in a bit of a confined space so I just dont have time to focus on them, but it is very enjoyable all the same.

anyone elses up yet?
anyone know if they are early or late?

Rainbowsend · 07-02-2011 6:43pm

Mine are just about up but I think they are late this year, I can usually see them appearing just after Christmas and usually flowing by the end of Jan. Though saying that my Daffys are well up this year, I think they are early!
