Yellowhammers in the Borders
I was out today looking around the local lanes and I came across a small flock of birds, most of them were yellowhammers with a few reed buntings and a few less tree sparrows.
I sat for some time just watching them feed on a hedgerow. They came closer and closer until they were about 5 yards away and I managed to get some decent pictures of them.

About Ron McCombe
I live in the Scottish Borders near Coldstream and like to photograph the local wildlife. Northumberland and South East Scotland have an abundance of natural history with sites such as Bass Rock, The Farne Islands, Holy Island and the Lammermuir Hills.
I have also traveled extensively throughout Europe, visiting Norway Sweden, Finland, Poland and Spain. I have also traveled the USA and Canada.
But I have to say I prefer Scotland, the lowlands, the highland and islands, Scotland has an abundance of wildlife to be photographed and enjoyed. I like to visit the Isle of Mull when I can, the wildlife and the scenery is stunning, some great species here to photograph, white tailed eagles, otters and red deer to name but a few.
You should come along and take a look
Ron
