Well done with your Linnets in flight pics Peter. I particularly like the second pic.

I also use that link!

Thanks for the links Peter - I'll have a dig through both of those!

Certainly looks like a flock of Linnet to me,nice flight shot I never seem to catch them,bad enough getting them in the bins.
