Is this a local

Spotted in my garden about 5 minutes ago, Never seen a bird like this before is it a local or a tourist?

Hi, Pretty sure that is a Yellowhammer, you do get them here but I don't see them that often. More often seem to hear them, their call is distinctive.

Scorrie like you Im fairly sure its a Yellowhammer

Yellowhammer it is, a male. A super photo, not associated normally with gardens more of a farmland bird. They are only normally summer visitors up here while most of Britian has them all year. Beautiful birds.

Thanks for all the replys, Our house is surounded by farmland and our garden is a "wild" sort of place so that maybe exlains why we saw it in our garden
