Hedge Rows, Yellowhammers
Males are unmistakeable with a bright yellow head and under parts, brown back streaked with black, and chestnut rump. In flight it shows white outer tail feathers. Often seen perched on top of a hedge or bush, singing. Its recent population decline make it a Red List species. Confusion with the Siskin (a finch) should be unlikely as the Yellowhammer is considerably bigger, a little larger than a Chaffinch. Yellowhammers are at home on farms and in hedgerows where they feed on seed and grain. In winter they often join mixed flocks of finches and buntings.
