Among the stingers! (Emberiza citrinella)

Sometime in April I thought I caught sight of a flash of yellow near the feeders but it was so quick I really wasn't sure what it was. A few days later and the mystery was solved when this Yellowhammer suddenly showed himself and stopped to feed on the fallen seed.

He was in amongst the nettles, but I was pretty pleased with the result.
