Linnet – visited garden

I had never seen a linnet before this, and I only saw them in the garden once, although they had quite a lengthy visit. They were happy on the front lawn eating…dandelion seeds! I knew those “weeds” would be good for wildlife! The male linnet is the one standing on a dandelion stalk. He has a pale underbelly and a grey head. He is also perched on the low bush, showing off his red breast markings. The female is the more uniformly brown speckled bird.
