[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Linnet (Carduelis cannabina)

The Linnet is found throughout most of Europe except the far north and into western Asia. It feeds on seeds particularly those from weeds and is to be found in woodland, farmland, etc., where there is access to wasteland and other weedy areas. The increased use of herbicides in modern agriculture has been a cause of decline in many areas.
The male in its summer plumage has a pale crimson forehead on an otherwise grey head and crimson chest and flanks. Its back and wings are chestnut. The female has no crimson and is rather featureless as is the winter male who loses his crimson colouring during this season.

sal' Catalin

presupun ca a trebuit sa intri cu zoomul digital, cel putin eu asa cred. la ora actuala gasesti specia destul de des pe langa vii unde cuibareste foarte des.

oricum good catch,
cosmln
