Linnets

The Raptor may have been at the Regatta on Friday, sporting a very distinguished, greying moustache, but that didn't prevent him from capturing this fine picture of a pair of linnets, male and female. It's one of our songbirds which is under threat - its conservation status is Red. As the Raptor points out, "Most books tell us they are absent from northwest Scotland but, as as these two show, they are most definitely not."
