'Lucky git' ???

What a Yellowhammer is a lucky git for being a Yellowhammer?

I saw an Egret today on the Humber bank - was he/she a lucky git too?

LOL

CT nailed it. Female Yellowhammer also known as yellow bunting. Thousands of them up here

Not so common here -they're a regular visitor at the Cannock Chase Feeding Station, but not regular enough to guarantee bagging one.

Thank you all for the id, how could I not recognise a yellowhammer, my favorite bird when I was a child. where I live I can atract goldfinches, greenfinches, bluetits, coaltits,and thats about it.

Probably because that is the female and you would most likely have memories of the much brighter, yellower and generally more striking male sitting on top of a bush singing its heart out for a bit of bread without cheese ...


Nice shot though ...

Yeah yeah, no need to brag... :nono:

I can offer sparrows, starlings, robins and greenfinches are considered exotic....

It must be at least 2 weeks since you've posted a kite, have they all gone away ?
