Had a busy day at the feeders the other day, female Brambling, Redpoll (male?) and the first Yellowhammers (I have seen) in the garden.




The field and hedges are full of Yellowhammers and Reed Buntings at the moment, I've not seen or heard any new arrivals yet, including Sedge Warbler, Whitethroat, Swallows or House Martins.

Meanwhile, just out of good camera reach .....

The SEO continues to turn up when I'm not there, not ready, least expecting it..... etc.

Still, I get to see and watch it albeit at a distance.

Almost forgot, the 15th, this happened. I walked out to fill the feeders and this Common? Gull was walking away from me, looked like it had a slight limp and the remains of a small bird in its beak! It stayed around for about 30 minutes then ... gone!

Bit late of me but that Brambling is a male with that amount of black wearing into view on the head. Nice.

Yes, it's lovely to see Yellowhammers making a comeback. I've got one Up the Hill on my patch and also at the Mause Feeders. Been about 5 years since I've seen so many.

Would it be a younger bird John?
