    Linnet - Carduelis cannabina (I think....! )

    (I am sure we saw Sandwich Terns dive and annoy other birds on the scrape at Milford on Sea early last year, Rolf. Can't find the pics just now, but will keep trying!)

    Then I'm going to sneak in with Sparrowhawk (f) - Accipiter nisus

    (Don't know why is was given that name as it ISN'T very nice!)

    I've just found Greenfinch feathers on the lawn, and I know what bird left them there.

    Mind you, if Sparrowhawks would eat Rooks, Magpies and Squirrels, I'd look at them in a different light!
