Yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella)

A bird of farmland, it likes bushy areas and hedgerows. Its song is a familiar rural sound in the UK "a little bit of bread and no cheeeeese". The male is a beautiful bird, almost canary like from front-on, but with a streaked red-brown back.


Eyebrook reservoir, Leicestershire, UK.
