Yellowhammer
Male Yellowhammer
The Yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) male is unmistakeable with a bright yellow head and underparts, brown back streaked with black, and chestnut rump.

In flight it shows white outer tail feathers.

You will most commonly hear in in the Pelhams singing the distinctive song "a little bit of bread and cheeeese"

Often seen perched on top of a hedge or bush, singing. Its recent population decline make it a globally endangered species.

Unusually I photographed the male on the ground.
