Starlings

Looked out the kitchen window , Light flurry of snow it's 11.45 and there is upwards of 60 starlings on the back lawn , oh yes , and a woodpigeon.

funny you should mention starlings,i was just looking out my patio doors and there were eight starlings all eating my christmas dripping mix that i set in butter pots,every now and then they would have a squable going up in the air as they do,when a male blackbird joined them,they didnt attack him or their mates while the blackbird was there,my dripping from christmas has nearly all been eaten only put it out three days ago,greedy lot.

I noticed the same thhis morning. They have eaten all of my homemade fat balls without letting any other bird get a look in. The cold weather seems to send them into a feeding frenzy. . .

Must agree, Starlng numbers are definitely up in our garden today. All feeding furiously on the home made fat balls and blocks. Other bird numbers seem about the same though.

We've had three in our Garden lately, for us that's a lot!

I have two sometimes three, I think they roost where they nest if not they pop in and have a tidy up or something daily

Your photos are lovely Graham, my avatar says hello
