Took this picture whils,t on the sand dunes on Tues afternoon.It was getting dusk but have highlighted the image a little in Elements.It does not have the beak of a stonechat,there are lots in this area,and they all sit atop a gorse branch,it has the beak of a sparrow but not the white bits on the wing feathers(please excuse my phraseology Michael!!) cannot see its front area so cannot tell if it could be a linnet,but doubt it as it is too small.There are also lots of skylarks in this area,but from its head that is ruled out.
Thankyou Christine.
I wil put a second darker picture in that has not been brightened,so may give easier id.I really am curious ,as i have gone backwards and forwards in the bird books,but cannot find anything.
