Welsh folklore warns us that these cute yellow birds have a taste for the undead:
'The yellowhammer was supposed to suck or taste blood from the veins of vampires & it was formerly regarded as a herald of the approach of evil spirits.'
Folklore of Wales, 1909

DYK if you wander into a ring of bluebells you will fall under fairy enchantment?

Just don't step on them or the little sprites will play tricks on you.

25th April is the feast day of St. Mark and the men of Venice give their belovΓ©d a red rosebud as a symbol of their love. This tradition commemorates the 'Legend of the Rosebud of St. Mark's', a tragic 8th century love story about the Doge's daughter Maria.
