	Linnet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Linnet, Carduelis cannabina, is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.
		The linnet derives its scientific name from its fondness for hemp, and its English name from its liking for seeds of flax, from which linen is made.
		Females and young birds lack the red and have white underparts with the breast streaked buff.

	Action plan for Carduelis cannabina
		The linnet is a common and widespread species across the UK countryside where it uses weedy fields, hedgerows, gorse thickets, heathland and scrub (particularly near the coast).
		Linnets are more dependent than other seed-eaters on wildflower seeds during the breeding season, when the chicks are also fed on seeds rather than insects.
		Until recently, the linnet was not regarded as a high priority species for conservation action but it is likely to have benefited, incidentally, at a small number of individual sites from initiatives for other species associated with heathland and scrub habitats, particularly in coastal situations.

		Linnet nodded, keeping her eyes fixed on the shopkeeper's face, but her mind was on the smell of the cherries in the window; she could feel soft water forming in her mouth.
		Linnet was beginning to think that she had held more sensible conversations with the street-boys, and she was about to say so in her usual forthright manner, when she remembered in time the shopkeeper's advice: she must act as though this man was normal and not draw attention to his affliction.
		Linnet was already halfway down the high street, striding along the wooden pavement with her chin high and her cloak hood flung back; the rain streamed across her face, hiding the one tear that escaped her control.

		Green Linnet has licensed additional Altan material to other labels for various unauthorized compilations.Green Linnet seems indifferent to the fact that is (sic) going down in infamy as a company which has in effect declared war on its artists, losing no opportunity to mistreat and exploit them at every opportunity.
		Sadly Green Linnet and its ownership represent an anomaly in the world of contemporary recorded music; a throwback to the bad old days before reform of the industry when many record companies routinely cheated their artists.
		Linnet is far from alone in the difficulties it has faced in this area.

		Linnet thought of her mother as a child, what she had withstood: the binding cloth, the brandy and the knife.

		Linnet knew that anything she said, and things she didn't say but he suspected, were going to be written down and put in her file.

		Linnet's Wings turned broadside to the outgoing current, and it was too much to hang on so I let go and spun around for another run.
		I enjoyed puttering around Linnet's Wings: gathering up odds and ends, the mainsail that Colin had been nice enough to remove and fold, the porta-potty, fire extinguisher, etc. There were quite a few other boat owners working on winterizing their boats and so was a really nice experience.

		As these waste places have been gradually brought under the plough, in England and Scotland particularly, the haunts and means of subsistence of the linnet have been curtailed, and hence its numbers have undergone a very visible diminution throughout Great Britain.
		The linnet begins to breed in April, the nest being generally placed in a bush at no great distance from the ground.
		The redpolls form a little group placed by many authorities in the genus Linota, to which they are unquestionably closely allied, and, as stated elsewhere (see FINcH), the linnets seem to be related to the birds of the genus Leucosticte, the species of which inhabit the northern parts of North-West America and of Asia.

	Green Linnet Irish Music and Dance Weekend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Being a fiddler I was fascinated by a multimedia lecture on the life and music of Francis O'Neill, the former Chicago Police Chief who made a point of hiring immigrant musicians to the force so as to support traditional Irish culture.
		The intensity and energy of the musicians was possibly exceeded only by the large number of set and ceili dancers who danced tirelessly through out the day, and continued to encourage the scheduled dance bands for more more music, even as the clock passed the 2AM mark.
		The best part of the Green Linnet weekend was the fun of sharing a celebration of celtic culture with so many folks of like interest, all in the same place, at the same time.
