A charming bird practically walked with me to church this morning, on my way to a Latin Mass. It is the yellowhammer and absolutely a bird which wants attention.
It accompanied me for more than half a mile before disappearing into fields of rapseed plants, which are blooming at this time of year.
The song is fine and cheerful.
In addition, a Song Thrush has entertained me in the evening hours, before dusk, which is about 9 ish at this point.
The song is amazingly varied and loud. What a treat!
