Extremely local resident.

Readily distinguished by the canary-yellow thorax, this is a very common species, especially in woodlands but also in gardens and most other habitats. It may have declined numerically, though there is no particular evidence that it has diminished in terms of geographical distribution.

Recorded in 31 (76%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1887.
Last Recorded in 2023.
