    Farne Islands

    Thanks to you both. Martin - I'll be jotting this lot down before I go. I'm sure I'm going to want more time than I have there. Oh well, it'll be an excuse to go back!! I had heard that it is wise to wear a hat but Bongofury, I think I'd rather endure the pecking than wear a bobble hat!!!! :-)

    Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)

    On a visit to Stonehenge in Wiltshire there were lots of starlings scrounging for food around the visitors seating area, and being used to people, were quite willing to sit and pose.
