Yellowhammer (male)

This was taken in the garden a few days ago and is a much better picture than the one I posted a couple of weeks ago. This little chap allowed me to get quite close

Gret capture. He looks well fed.

This is much better indeed, Sue. Love this little bird.

[Sue Cooper]

Thanks Phil. He and his missus are often underneath one particular bird feeder clearing up after the other messy birds, in particular the nuthatches. This was a particularly cold day so I think his feathers were puffed up to keep him warm.

@gijsje Thank you bep. You might be interested to know that this is another bunting but always called a yellowhammer.

@beryl Thank you Beryl

@foxes37 Thank you Lis.

@judithdeacon Thank you Judith. It could be that you don't get them in your area. I'd never seen one until we came to live here.

@happysnaps Thank you Valeriw.

@susie1205 Thank you Susie.

@merrelyn It was a very cold day so I'm sure that wasn't all bird.

@oldjosh Thank you Margaret.
