| | | Re: Mum and the kids ( Starlings ) Lovely picture, I am also waiting on the babies arriving. Sees to be a bit later this year.. I have seen the adults taking food from the bird table and empty it twice a day. I even went out in the heavy rain to stock the table up as don't want them to stop turning up. |

| | | Re: Mum and the kids ( Starlings ) Great photo  Not seen any starlings here this year.
The only fledglings I have seen at the ground feeder at the moment is dunnocks. Though I have heard other young birds calling for food in the bushes round and about the garden. |

| | | Re: Mum and the kids ( Starlings ) Great shot Mark. A Starling has very recently started collecting food from our garden, beakfulls of worms etc. So I'm hoping that when the juveniles venture from the nest, they will get brought in to the garden for a visit!
Best wishes,
Matt. |

| | | Re: Mum and the kids ( Starlings ) My garden is teeming with young starlings, they empty the feeders in minutes  but still the odd Goldfinch and the regular Coal Tit sneaks in and the messy Starlings throw enough onto the floor for the rest to get a share

| | | Re: Mum and the kids ( Starlings ) I have five young starlings in the garden. They were sat huddled together on the shed roof this morning, waiting for mum to come back with food!
I went to get the camera but they had taken shelter in a tree that hangs over the shed roof!
Maybe next time
