Yellowhammer - Emberiza citrinella

Yellowhammer | Ardnamurchan Wildlife
Canon 800mm f8 for 1/1000th @ iso400

Like a beacon of yellow in the Ardnamurchan countryside, the Yellowhammer really stood out in the bare trees of the April countryside.

A couple of hundred miles south and around the village of Hatton and down at Moore Nature Reserve these colourful birds members of the Bunting family although classified at Red status are frequently seen on the hedges.
