About
the Yellowhammer
The Yellowhammer is a farmland
bird, often heard and seen in farmland hedgerows during the
summer months. During the winter these birds may gather in
large mixed flocks to take advantage of suitable feeding opportunities.
Although the Yellowhammer may
take invertebrates during the breeding season, its large and
robust bill reveals its preference for seeds, especially those
rich in starch.
Females are less showy than the
males.
