Years ago, in my old garden, we had lots of thrushes and my lovely old next door neighbour told me that there used to be massive flocks of linnets before my time, but I've never seen linnets:-)

I have never seen Linnets either,just looked them up in my bird book,they look a bit like sparrows,but have a pinky colour on their heads,when they are young.

I believe people would capture them and breed them with canaries, possibly to improve their song. That old music hall song 'My old mansaid follow the van' mentions her old cock linnet. I'm going to google to see why their numbers have dropped so drastically. I used to have tree sparrows here, but haven't seen one for years. Lots of house sparrows and dunnocks, but the tree sparrows were lovely:-)

They're the ones with the jaunty little brown skull caps, both male and female wear them:-)
