Linnets
A phone call from Alan Larkman telling me about a huge flock of Linnets he and David Daniels had been watching in the Oil Seed Rape stubble field lying to the right alongside the entrance road to the BBOWT Chimney reserve public car park resulted in breathtaking views of several flocks of Linnets totaling in excess of two thousand birds , not at all approachable keeping either to the middle of this large field or making for the far side if I changed position. Met Albert Allen there and our very rough estimates are 2,000 plus Linnets, 200 plus Fieldfare and 100 Starlings.
