The starlings are back in our garden.
I like to see them each year, they do good work on the lawn, but I also hope that they do not decide to nest in our house. Some of the neighbours have had them do this and they create quite a mess. They have been busy in the garden picking bugs out of the lawn, they have a little dig around and come up with a leatherjacket or a small slug. They also like to take the sultanas I put out for the black birds.
The much maligned starling... I love 'em... the 'spiv' of the bird world.

Pro Yes, glad you like them.
Indeed I do. Feed the little tykes regularly

What a beautiful photo!
Starlings 'perform' every evening at the end of my village at the moment, with their fabulous aerobatic show. It's not a large flock but they do love to show off!

Ah! Starlings... Our garden is a regular port of call....Fat balls....and fresh drinking water supply.....drawcards....

We've got some nesting in our extractor vent; they certainly do make a mess! I've got to wait until the chicks leave before I evict them, and they're a bit smelly...

Pro That is nice of you to wait. I bet they are smelly. Hope they do not make too much of a mess.
