Yellowhammers Galore

Many thanks to Trevor Potts at the Ardnamurchan Campsite for sending the Diary this picture of no less than seven yellowhammers.  He tells us that there were two others as well, making a remarkable number for a bird which is described as 'a bird of open country' and which is said to be a summer visitor only in this part of the world.  In fact, we've seen them ever since we moved to Ormsaigbeg, but never before in such numbers - we see about four at a time.
