Claws for Thought

Linnet (Carduelis cannabina)

I got up really close to this one. It didn't appear to be at all bothered. I snapped away merrily untill it was disturbed by a pigeon in the bush behind.

I could have cropped this right down and kept all the detail.I like the fuller picture, showing just how chilled the bird was enjoying (the last?) of the sunshine.
