Yellowhammer Original Gouache Painting

Yellowhammer Painting

A study of a Yellowhammer; an original gouache painting by Amanda Gosse.

The yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) is a small passerine bird, easily to identify by its bright yellow plumage, which is streaked with warm brown and black. Found in open countryside and hedgerows, they feed on seeds and insects and nest close to the ground. This once commonly seen bird is now, sadly, on the red conservation status list, a reminder of how much the character of the British countryside has changed.
Did you know? The yellowhammer often flies in flocks of other buntings, finches and sparrows.
