Underdog Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Has anyone here noticed an increase in linnet numbers? I seem to have more pretty much everywhere around here. Pardon the bad photo, it was a hand held at max zoom bridge camera so. I fiddled with it a little too. U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Lovely pic def a cockbird by its red on its breast They are singing all the time at this local. They are so small and resist my attempts to get closer and when I do have some luck have no camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdab Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 It's a beautiful songster equally as good as a goldfinch in great numbers around this neck of the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Highest numbers of linnets here that i can remember and also goldfinches seem to be booming which is great to see. JDog mentioning seeing a redpoll reminds me of taking a pic of this bird earlier this year and im not 100% sure and keep forgetting to show it to the old fella to see what hes says.Took a few bird pics this year and early morning is a great time.
