Yesterday evening, during a bird spotting walk with guides. The shutterspeed was too slow, big distance, hard to see, sorry... Some guy with good eyes said: that is a flock of Linnet, landing in a smaller tree. Someone confirmed that ID. I see no red, but several brown backs. Very near we spotted with certainty Red-backed Shrike. I add a pic of that too (1708). That is rare around here. But I guess the Shrike is not in flocks, so pics to wo 1718, 1719, 1721 would not be the Shrike at least. Should I accept a flock of Eurasian Linnet? The head/beak on 1719 looks like a Finch I would say. Tnx for your help
