I love these birds. They are beautiful and their song sounds really nice. They had a nest in my garden this spring (may-june) and five chicks fledged. Now I only occasionally see them (or hear them). Thank you for sharing this.
I saw a pair on Thursday when I was just walking along the Wales Coastal path. I've seen quite a few there and also up on the 'Sugar Loaf in Abergavenny in in the last few years so it doesn't seem that altitude is a factor. Just one of those geographical quirks, we don't get Yellowhammers on the coast but see them up in the hills here.
@@johnluk : I'm in Ireland, not far from W.Coast - birds that have vanished in recent years: Greenfinch, Bullfinch, Curlew. So sad . But loads of Chaffinch, Robins, Wrens & Dunnocks. Odd how they come & go.
Gruntol5 Thanks for letting me know where you’re based, my grandad came from the West Coast, I imagine you must get all sorts of interesting birds there blown off course from America. It is a mystery why species decline in some years then suddenly recover, I hope your missing finches do come back, such a shame to lose them. In one place I read about they kept a field of seed bearing grasses and cereal crops to deliberately attract finches and feed them over the winter.
The best singing bird ever to me I use to keep them to mate with a yellow female cannery bird and having a very loud song of a linnet obviously in edicute cages interesting hobby thanks a lot
Hi abdelmalek ali, well they are finches and as far as I know all that family are seed eaters. I have personally seen them feeding on seeds from various weeds including thistle and dandelion but I know that like other seed-eaters they feed their young on a protein rich diet of grubs and insects. The Finches have similar but slightly different bill shapes which means they are adapted to access different plants and this avoids competition for the same food source. Charles Darwin used the finches on different Galápagos Islands to demonstrate that they had a common ancestor but had evolved different morphology (including thinner/thicker/longer/shorter bills) to exploit the plants endemic to each island. Hope this answers your question.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Wow, really wonderful to see them in your garden, hope this becomes a regular thing!
Lovely footage! I witnessed my first linnet singing this morning (Beds} and you've just confirmed that was indeed what it was - thank you!
Thank you BC, great to hear it helped and very kind of you to let me know! !
Just caught one on my camera, they are quite rare where we are!
That’s great news!
I see linnets when walking at Sizewell Beach in Suffolk hear where I live.
Great! Suffolk has the reputation of being a top spot for birding!
I've seen ONE in that last 7 years. Where are they all?

Sadly linnets are dying because of the fields are covered by parasite
