first juvenile

Starling visited my roof today watching adult bird feeding from window feeder. Just watching at the moment but will figure out that feeder soon enough.

Saw my first this morning on my back fence. I had a block of cheese that was past it's use by date so popped it into a square mesh feeder the night before and a pair of starlings were busy feeding thier 2 chicks with it. They make such a racket when they beg for food

They'll be bringing the whole family soon and devouring your feeders

Great to see all the youngsters out and about, so far I've had 5 Blue Tit fledglings (+ both parents), 2 Dunnocks (+ 1 parent) and a bunch of Starling youngsters.

They're great, the young starlings, and yes, they do make a racket. Our 'garden' starling flock has got 11 juveniles; however down the road, in the fields alongside the Trent, there is a flock with upwards of 40 young. I lost count at that point as a heron flew over and they all took off.

Great birds to watch, anytime, but especially this time of year. IMO.

Cheers, Nik.
