Yellowhammer

It was the first day of the football season here in the UK yesterday and to recognise my team's comfortable 1-0 victory over West Ham (known as the Hammers) I thought I'd share some pictures of a Yellowhammer I saw a few weeks back.
It was scurrying around a field and even stopped for a second or two to let me take a few pictures. I've had many struggles trying to photograph this bird.

  3. Oh well done! It's great when this happens. I have never seen a Yellowhammer, they are lovely birds.
    The earth looks very dry in that field!

  22. I got rather excited when I heard 'a little bit of bread and no cheese' when I was back in the UK recently - not heard that in a while!

    Nice bird.
