On our walk today the sun came out, a hare ran across the flat field in full view and as we walked along Honeydon Road I caught sight of a brilliant yellow headed bird with brown feathers atop the hedge.  Ken suggested it might be a Yellowhammer and, on returning home and consulting the RSPB identifier, I discovered that it was indeed this red listed bird.  A great walk with the added bonus of some unexpected wildlife …….and three very well behaved dogs!
