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. 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.

It is a slim bird with a long tail. The upperparts are brown, the throat is sullied white and the bill is grey. The summer male has a grey nape, red head patch and red breast.

Females and young birds lack the red and have white underparts with the breast streaked buff. The linnet's pleasant song contains fast trills and twitters.

Great shot of this bird on a wire. I like the rich earthtones of the bird and the sharpness. You have a great blurred background that makes the bird stand out. Very good composition with bird removed from center of frame.

Looks like a good side portrait. Nicely shot. I hope you didn't have to wait long. I know that birds move position often.

Hello ! Very sharp picture, great background and nice pose of the bird. Well done,

Mario

Hello Vicma, this Linet female is wonderfull, impressive details, I like your composition and your frame, a great work, congratulations,
Pat

Holaaa, primero enhorabuena por el perequén, se notaba que triunfaría ya que es una foto delicada por muchos aspectos. En la que publicas hoy , fiel a tu estilo, excelente fondo y colores. El enfoque clavado. En cuanto al encuadre, a mi me parece bien que el mayor espacio quede a la derecha ya que el alambre en la parte derecha está más alto y se crea equilibrio. Saludos.

Hola Victor,
Que bien se te dan los pájaros, tienen todas una composición muy bella, gran nitidez y textura, además de una luz y fondo magníficos, gracias por compartir estas bellezas, Un cordial saludo amigo

Hello Victor,

This is a wonderful picture of a cute bird! I am impressed by the sharpness and the excellent details. I could count all the feathers in your picture if I wanted. The pose of the bird is excellent showing us an easy readable profile silhouette. The background isolates the Linnet perfectly from the surroundings. The colors look natural and well saturated and the contrast was well adjusted. I would have liked to see the bird standing on a branch or an object from its natural environment but this wasn't under your control. The eye contact is great and the catchlights add a spark of life to the subject. Great job! Thank you!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie

Very good capture of this Linnet, Vicma.
The POV is very effective. The focus is razor sharp and the details are extraordinary.
Thanks for sharing and regards.

Outstanding colours and details and delightful composition.
I must admit the one slight change I would make would be to move the bird a little to the right in the frame (a subjective opinion)

Outstanding shot of the Linnet with immaculate sharpness and textures on its plumage. The focus and lighting are spot-on and you have captured a classic pose. The smooth BG lets it stand out well against it. Excellent POV and a precise DOF. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Vicma,

This is an exceptionally fine capture of the Linnet. I believe it is the same as our house finch. Colors and details are magnificent showing the sweet face and the plummage. Wonderful pose and composition on the nicely shaped branch. Beautiful background.

Excellent shot, depicting so sharply and clearly this tender small creature! TFS.

WOW, super picture the colors and the details are excellent and the lighting is very good, a less space on the left and more on the right would have done wonders
