? Redpoll, Linnet, Twite ? Lincolnshire
Hi, I'm hoping that someone can tell from these terrible pictures what this bird is. It was at quite a distance and was against the sky so it has come out realy badly, also I did not have long to get a picture. We thought it was either a Redpoll or a Linnet, but possibly a Twite (although probably not). Its breast was very streaky altough you cannot really see this in the picture. It was in a heathland area with lots of gorse but was sat at the top of a small, low tree and was singing away (sorry I can't recall how to describe the song).
Thank you. |
