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.

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.

funnily enough I had just decided after your first post that was the most likely 👍😁

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!
