Thanks for that Phil - I just wasn't sure. It turned up at a site in Ballycotton in East Cork where a Bluethroat is currently showing well (see photo). Initally I thought it was a young linnet.

Cheers MJ

Michael I would have gone for Linnet as well - never having seen a Twite. Nice image. Like the Bluethroat as well. Never seen one of these either. I lead a sheltered life :wink: :wavey:

A couple of very nice images. They are both birds I have yet to see, so I guess a bit of a rarity?
