The Linnet, Carduelis cannabina, is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.
This bird breeds in Europe, western Asia and north Africa. It is partially resident, but many eastern and northern birds migrate further south in the breeding range or move to the coasts.
Open land with thick bushes is favoured for breeding, including heathland and garden. It builds its nest in a bush, laying 4-7 eggs.
This species can form large flocks outside the breeding season, sometimes mixed with other finches, such as Twite, on coasts and salt marshes. Its food mainly consists of seeds, which it also feeds to its chicks. The linnet derives its scientific name from its fondness for hemp and its English name from its liking for seeds of flax, from which linen is made. |

Salut Jozsef,
Intradevar un moment intim, dar de ce in vazul tuturor? Reusita fotografie chiar daca are unele imperfectiuni. O specie simpatica, am si eu o pereche la tara care vine an de an si isi reconstruieste cuibul intr-o tuie columnara, exceptie in acest an cand s-au mutat intr-o clematida. Simpatice. Masculul e unul dintre cei mai buni cantareti.
Numai bine. TFS.
Cezar T.
