| | | Starling in a flap
I caught this amusing sequence of shots yesterday morning. The starling is apparently feeding its young in a nest behind the louvre protecting a duct outlet. The nest is invisible and the duct outlet is in a wall 20 feet above the ground. I therefore do not consider that I am breaking the taboo about photographing nesting birds.
The snaps do illustrate the adaptability of the starling and its talent for filling a niche in every sense of the phrase.

Fantastic photo's
It never fails to amaze me the places birds find to build their nests and have their Chicks

Great shots Colin! Ingenious idea for a safe nesting spot. Our starlings have to make do with a boring old swift box  . |

I hope the fledglings don't get in a flap when they leave. |

Great photos. Recently at Chester Zoo I noticed alot of starlings and Sparrows nesting in gaps in the brickwork under a bridge.  |
