Beautiful Juvenile Linnet Finches on Sandy Beach | Birds of Norway

Linnets (Carduelsis cannabina; Tornirisk) are common breeders along the western coast of Norway. This group of juveniles filmed on July 7 at Herdla Nature Preserve were beautifully camouflaged in the sand. The small wings and remnant downy plumage suggest these birds are newly fledged. At 1:32 note the bird in front tracking a bird flying overhead and the soft contact calls of the bird in the background before they both take-off.

Welcome to BIRDING VISIONS - portraits and sound recordings of birds and their habitats, sharing the sublime beauty of nature. These wildlife videos are both documentary and impressions of an experience. I hope you get a sense of being there: from the Rock Wren of Willis Creek Slot Canyon, Utah, singing Whinchat in the rugged heathland of coastal Norway, a band of Arabian Babblers in Israel, to soaring Kites over Kyoto, Japan.
The playlists are organized by geographical region and topic (singing birds, shorebirds, etc). The 200+ videos are from many different places across the globe, with a focus on birds of North America and the Western Palearctic, including Europe, Israel and Morocco.

Thanks, Clive. A bit much weather, at the moment. Rain and wind.
The long-term forecast is also rain.

Darling things. Fascinating to go back and watch the footage. Lots of behavior and vocalization that I didn't notice at the time.
