Half-a-canary

More socialising today.  One of Sis's stepsons and his wife are over from the States. The four of us went out to The Bush for lunch, a much-loved pub on the River Itchen just east of Winchester.  Afterwards I asked to be dropped off in town and then walked home through the park, where to my surprise I met this birdy (yellowhammer, presumably)  looking for all the world like a cross between a canary and a sparrow!

If you'll forgive me, I'm turning my comments off at least for today as my hands are bad. Truth to tell, using my long lens my doesn't do them much good.  I will, of course, be looking at all your shots and sprinkling stars and hearts as usual.  And for those of you who enjoy blipping wildflowers, a reminder that WFW22_19 is now over and results will be in my journal tomorrow hopefully.  Currently we're onto WFW22_20 until midnight Saturday 20th.

Happy Monday evening/Tuesday morning  xx

Oops, just heard some thunder at last - but will we get any rain?
