no more pictures . . . I got just one shot off before it flew

In fact not. The two images you've posted are different photos.

Butty - I will repeat from previous posts that if I had ten percent of your knowledge of birds I would be over the moon.

So, I really don't understand why you feel the need to make these utterly trivial points which add nothing to the thread or advance the ID, and seem to be made just to be pointlessly aggressive.

Yes, it seems that Musoman has two photos of this bird, taken a fraction of a second apart. Maybe he's not an English speaker, and maybe when he said that he only got one shot he meant that he only got the bird in one pose before it flew off?

Please take a look at your posts. Your positive posts are extremely helpful. But your negative posts - like this one - make me, and I think quite a few others rather depressed.

Since the nature of any post-processing is believed by some contributors to be an issue here, could you post the originals of both photos? Thanks.

Is there a point? It is and always has been a Linnet. Unprocessed photos won't change that. But I do agree with you that there were clearly at least two shots and I don't agree that in this instance you were being at all wrong to point that out.

It was a 4 shot burst, and if the bird moved a fraction of an amount in the time it took to take, sue me.
It wont make any difference, because all 4 look almost exactly the same
