Yellowhammer Emberiza citrinella

Incredibly, yet another first for me – not only did I get my first ever photos of a yellowhammer, but it was singing away in full breeding plumage at the top of a tree in full view on a bright sunny day. I managed to get reasonably close as well before it flew away, so here are a couple of great shots! Continuing the yellow theme, we saw several brimstone butterflies here at Jeskyns too; we have seen one or two every time we have been here for the last week or two, and when my wife visited without me last week, she says there were loads of them – even though I would have thought this was a bit late in the season for this extremely early species. Easier said than done to get a photo though; brimstones hardly ever settle, and then not for more than a few seconds.
