Yellowhammer Returns

This is only the third time I have recorded a Yellowhammer in the garden - the other two occasions were both in January this year. This time, however, I did manage to take some record shots which I had failed to do in January.

I only spotted him as I happened to look out of kitchen window whilst putting something in the kitchen sink. As a result, I saw him for only around ten seconds; in that time I had to pick up the camera, wait for it to wake from sleep mode and then just click away! The results are very poor, but I'm sure he'll be back sometime and, hopefully, he'll stay a while longer - so I might get another chance!

I didn't see him feed but he did appear to be glancing up at the small bowl of sunflower hearts placed on the top of the kitchen steps.

Shooting through a window obviously isn't ideal as it drains a lot of colour from the photo - this chap was very yellow.
