I was driving back from Fingeringhoe reserve with no success, when I spotted a few Linnets on a wire fence! It's amazing how close you can get when your sitting in the car! Luckily the background was ok too! First one I've photographed for a few years!

Seeing one of these handsome birds is always a thrill, particularly as I never see them where I live, in rural Suffolk. The colours are just stunning, aren't they?

This bird was photographed on Cavenham heath.
