J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 One of my all time fave's. Cock linnets are superb! I had a little trip some time ago to go see the best Linnet nesting area i had ever seen. About ten acres or so of gorse and home to many nests. Tragically it is now a fukcing airport carpark!!! So Leeds and Bradford Airport, many thanks for yet another acological disaster! Set of muppets! On another note, when i had kept linnets in captivity the cocks would never colour up properly unless they were colour fed. So there must be something in the wild Linnets diet that we cannot supply to our captive birds. I'd love to know what.........Great pic Byron. JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JD Jon out of interest in your captive birds were the colours just duller than byrons example .. or totally different colours Quote Link to post Share on other sites
