It was scurrying around a field and even stopped for a second or two to let me take a few pictures. I've had many struggles trying to photograph this bird.
Let me know when that tide's coming in won't you

Yellowhammer
It was the first day of the football season here in the UK yesterday and to recognise my team's comfortable 1-0 victory over West Ham (known as the Hammers) I thought I'd share some pictures of a Yellowhammer I saw a few weeks back.

they move around rather quick. And. as soon as you pull the trigger, they moved. :) It looks good on the grey, dry dirt..
