Hi all,
I'm a born again birder (the Bitten I saw at Leighton Moss in December restarted me) and over the last 6 months I've managed to see a good variety off birds (138), but I've not seen a Yellowhammer. I have very fond memories of my dad teaching me the song whilst walking around Rivington. I now live in SE London and I have no idea where to go to see this "common" bird (strangely it is never mentioned on birdguides.com ).
If anybody could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Am I right in thinking it may be easy to see in autumn/winter as I have read it will then be in flocks, again if anybody could point me to where these flocks are likely to be in this area I would be grateful.
Thanks,
Paul
