🦉 The yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella)

📚 Emberiza embritz (Old German) bunting
📚 citrinella citrine (lat.) yellow; citrinella (Italian) yellow bird

I get the impression that I see the same bird year after year. At the end of April or the beginning of May, I come to the forest near a large river, and there is one interesting place. This is a small ravine in which a small stream flows and trees and bushes grow. And in this very place every year I see this male.

Here is a photo from a year before.

And that was two years before.

Why am I sure it's the same bird? It's about plumage, color. You see, he has a brown mustache on his face, and a brown shirt-front. Not all of these birds have brown spots and mustache .
