The first broods of Linnets are out and making lots of weird and wonderful noises as they follow their parents around begging for food. The Cordite brambles, river wall and Serin Mound area are the best spots and if you find one of the males, you will see that he has already largely lost his red bikini top and has become a little subdued.  Suspect that they will try for a second brood now...
