Yellowhammer
The Yellowhammer Emberiza citrinella is native to Eurasia and is a rare migratory bird. It prefers sprawling meadows, forest clearings and fields as it is predominantly a ground feeder. Characterised by the bright yellow markings on its head and breast, its outer tail feathers flash white while it’s in flight. In winter, yellowhammers form small flocks and the Asian subspecies is known to move further southwards in these cooler months. Photo: Ovais Shafi.
