I hope I've named this correctly. I do get confused with linnets and redpoll. This was near the coast in Dorset so I think it's more likely to be a linnet.
A nice little bird whichever - I haven't seen a linnet since a child - my dad always pointed out all the different bird to me -- and I loved to know about them , but a lot of the more unusual birds I only know by their Welsh names ! and sometimes I have to refer to my Welsh/English dictionary !!!
