As I live in the UK this might be a bit of a long shot. When I clean the cage out I throw the waste and left over food on the steps for the local wild life. This is one visitor I cannot put a type too. We are thinking Yellow Finch or Yellow Hammer but never seen one so Yellow, any ideas.

its wings look too dark and it looks rather long to be a canary. ive never seen a bird that yellow in the wild around here before though. im just trying to dig out my bird book.. ill have a look through it and post a bit later on

wahay, you beat me to it Bella. i was just about to suggest a Yellow Wagtail.
Pied or White Wagtail:
You might have seen these guys around (we get a lot in town) they are called Pied or White Wagtails, although i call them bobtails some times. The yellow ones would act near enough the same.
I did look at the Yellowhammer but i think its wings look darker and its chest isnt as bright as the bird in your photographs.
i have never seen a Yellow Wagtail before. they are pretty
Sorry about the quality of the pictures. had to photograph the book because my scanner doesnt want to work today
