The flock of linnets feeding in the fields of field beans has expanded to around two hundred individuals. Clearly, despite the weed killer used on these fields, there is plenty of weed seed available for these birds. It also signifies that this has been a very successful breeding season for these birds many of which appear to be juveniles.
A mixed flock of tits and warblers (probably chiffchaff) was flitting about the hedgerow alongside the path that runs between the two bean fields, some of the young warblers landed within a meter of where I was standing.
