Early morning

By Words | Published March 6, 2010

Another beautiful, frosty morning…
In the distance, a fox carries home its prey

And closer by, a yellowhammer sings to the morning light…

    I don`t think I have ever heard yellowhammer singing. Or… I have heard it and didn`t know it was yellowhammer 😆

    Yesterday morning looked stunning, and I was really hoping that today would be the same! :right:

    It looks like a very happy bird. Springtime must be close.

    Darko, I find recognizing bird song really difficult (unless I can see them!) :sing:

    Adele, today wasn't too bad (not great though), but next week looks quite good 🙂

    Neil, there's always a nice little colony at the edge of the fields. Such charming little birds, I really enjoy seeing them.
