30/12/21LinnetTattenhoe Park, Milton Keynes171H Appleyard
One of my largest Linnet counts from this site, based on a single image taken of a flock from a pre-roost gathering. May have been more than this as they were gathering around two separate spots, with some possibly flying backing and forth. The majority lingered around a tree-line near the middle of the site on Parks Trust land.
