night caller

Would it be too late in the season for young starlings not quite into their full plumage?

That's what I was thinking, but certainly round here they are all mostly in winter splendour.. and you'd expect some adults in there too.

checking out another bird forum, redwings seem most likely How nice!

Thanks folks... I don't know much about birds yet, admittedly, but I'm convinced they are not starlings; (young or old) - they are my least favourite birds and we get a lot of them round here so they are one of the six birds I can recognise.

I'm interested in the Redwing idea, and I'll check out a bird site or two; are they "special "?

I'm also still interested in whether the balance of opinion thinks my night caller is a little or a tawny owl

Thanks
