Yellowhammer


Colours straight out of a child's paintbox - blue sky, fresh green hawthorn foliage and a sulphur-yellow yellowhammer.


The hedgerows around here are full of their wheezy song at the moment.

    This somewhat reminds me of the way our goldfinches have "yellowed up" in the past few weeks. Spring is especially slow coming to northern Colorado this year
