That's a lovely one Snappy. Funny how the crown and chest can be different shades, bird to bird.

Thanks PB

To me, they always seem very varied in the amount of colour they have.

Av still no got a decent clear shot of a Linnet this year! Nice one SM

Good shot.

Landing on gorse looks to be a tricky manouevre.
