They certainly haven't reached us yet but they seem to have penetrated into north London. I was at a funeral at Golders Green Crematorium this week and a flock was making a racket in the garden of remembrance.
The arable fields between Ley Hill and Latimer have been harvested over the last couple of days. This morning I saw a group of yellowhammers in the middle of the road by a field gate. From the look of things they were eating spilled grain. Instead of flying into the hedgerow they flew away from me along the road at windscreen height. I haven't seen much else recently apart from a distant glimpse of a partridge and the occasional red kite.
