Bird ID help please!

Post by Frank the Dog » Mon Apr 30, 2018 6:29 pm

Evening all, just a few from the weekend at the local. Awful weather seems to have put everything back about 4 weeks, but there were a few different types around. In particular the first three images, 1 and 2 are the same bird, I have no idea what it is, the same with the third image. Any assistance greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in anticipation and many thanks for looking!

1/2 male linnet with 3 being the female. Nicely captured set.

Guessing that I don't need to say that the last one is a Robin!
