| 10:00 | ad. Found by Thomas Miller the day prior. The bird was not present throughout much of my visit (~9.30-10.20), but returned to the south end of the flood at 10.00 for a few minutes before departing again west towards the Thames. | |||

| 08:50 | Called once from along the rail tracks, after I saw the yellowhammers on Aristotle bridge. . | |||
| 04/12/24 | Yellowhammer | Port Meadow | 2 | P Chiaranunt |
| 08:50 | Bright yellow passerines landed on bare branches less than 10m away from me as I was near the start of Aristotle bridge, ~8.50am. Noticeably larger than a blue tit on the same tree. I unfortunately saw them only without binoculars (still in my knapsack), but what immediately impressed me was the bright yellow of both birds around the head and breast area. Slightly streaky breast and some brown along the upper parts. I did not notice any dark black markings along the wings or head (hence, not siskin). No grey parts that I would expect to see in greenfinch. Departed after about 5-10 seconds, heading east. . | |||
