The Endangered UK Birds Series is a circular walk of just under 4 miles starting and finishing in Fleckney. Parking is available either in the village car park, N52.535156, W1.043887, or along one of the side streets in the village.
There are 244 species of birds in the UK. Over a quarter, 27% of them are on the Red List - ‘highest conservation concern’.
Ten years ago only 21% of the species were endangered and included on the Red List.
You may see many birds along the walk and if you're lucky you may see one of the birds on the Red List.
The Linnet is a small finch with pink breast, grey head, pale cheeks, pink forehead and orange-brown back. The bird in winter has little or no pink and appears much browner.
