A vibrant bunting, instantly recognizable by the male's bright yellow head and underparts. Its distinctive song is a classic sound of the European countryside.
Where to spot
Widespread across Europe and western Asia, preferring open farmland, heathland, and rural gardens with scattered trees and hedges.
How to spot
Look for them perched on hedges, bushes, or wires. The male's bright yellow plumage is unmistakable. Listen carefully for its characteristic song, especially on warm days.
When to spot
Year-round resident; males are most vocal and visible during the breeding season (spring and early summer), when they display from prominent perches.

The Yellowhammer's song is famously transliterated as 'a little bit of bread and no cheese,' making it one of the most easily recognizable and cherished bird songs in its range.
