West Dorset Yellowhammers

Came across a flock of 16 Yellowhammers at an undisclosed site in West Dorset. A real treat to see so many Yellowhammers considering their rarity in Farmland in Dorset. I've have only seen a handful of Yellowhammers at other mid-Dorset sites including on my local patches at Charmouth and Sherborne in recent months.The Yellowhammers were part of a large flock of 40+ Chaffinch also holding single Brambling, 2 Corn Buntings and 10+ House Sparrows.
