www.wildlifeincornwall.com Linnet at Goldfinch Garden May 2010 ... A small, slim finch, widely distributed, and once very popular as a cage bird because of its melodious song. Males are attractively marked with crimson foreheads and breasts, females much browner. It can be flighty and has an undulating flight, usually twittering as it flies. Now it is declining, in common with many other birds which use farmland, and is a Red List species. WHERE TO SEE THEM While widespread across the UK, there are concentrations along the east coast from Kent to Aberdeenshire but they are scarce in upland regions and north west Scotland. Look for it on commons, heathland, rough ground, farmland hedges, saltmarshes and in parks and gardens. WHEN TO SEE THEM All year round. WHAT THEY EAT Seeds and insects. Filmed on 29th May 2010 Video Produced by Goldfinch Garden
