YYELLOWHAMMERR
(Emberiza citrinella)
A male Yellowhammer is pictured above singing in a field in the UK. Brittanica.com says the Yellowhammer, also called Yellow Bunting, is a Eurasian bird belonging to the family Emberizidae (order Passiformes). Meanwhile, Wikipedia states the English name is thought to have come from 'ammer', a German word for a bunting, and was first recorded in 1553 as yelambre.
