Crapiest of crap shots......through the windscreen,up into the sun - almost a silhouette,million degees.
On a hedge,singing,about 4 of them,bins at home.
Straight away thought Linnet,but face markings threw me towards Yellowhammer.
Can't hear bird song as deaf.

I'm going back up there now with Bins and hearing aid.....

Lapwing
Skylark
