Can any one help with identifying these birds? Is the second a linnet ?

11yrs, but many years a tugger.
Think so, but perhaps a juvenile as I would expect the breast to be a little redder.

not long enough
I think chiffchaff or garden warbler , but also as above if juvenile it makes it much harder to be sure 👍

edit - just had a look on laptop and retract my first thought 🤔

second one could be a Dartford warbler 👍 or Linnet 😁

I think the first one is probably a young female chaffinch.
The second is definitely a young linnet.

(though I won't be offended if somebody tells me my "definitely" is wrong!!!)

Actually just had another look at photo 1 on my phone where I can zoom in and not at all sure about the chaffinch now.

Yup. That one's easy. Got any more hard ones for us?
Looks like your patch of green has been very productive, a successful breeding season!

Water Pipit? Breeds and tends to live at altitude.😊
