A quick look at Plex Moss Lane this afternoon.
Yellowhammer had been reported on Facebook, so, as I knew the site described I took Jean as my spotter after we'd done the shopping.
We parked at the prescribed pull-in and watched the bushes.
'There are birds on the other side of that tree' said my spotter, so I had to get out of the car and sidle carefully round the bush, but there they were, 3 bright yellow finches sitting quietly with a couple of reed buntings.
Another lifer for the wife and a year tick for me, one of my bogey birds, I never seem to be able to find them.
