Easton

Highlight today was my first male Yellowhammer on Portland. And it's only taken 6 years and 11 months to record one on the island; in which time I've seen more Cirl Buntings, than Yellowhammers here.

As I drove past Grove Road here, it flew east to west in the direction of Jordan's Mine here.

It was also my #100th bird species this year for my 2024 Port & Wey Bird List.

Below are a few photos of Yellowhammers I photographed in Wiltshire almost 10 years ago to this day.
