    My recent stay on Holy Island Lindisfarne

    Hi, I recently spent three nights on Lindisfarne Holy Island. What a magical place. When the tide comes in and the tourists leave you feel like you are the only person left, it’s wonderful to go exploring and see the beautiful scenery and bird life. Mornings were spent feeding the sparrows...

    Crow vs juv starling.

    Hey, First post here. So we regularly feed the birds. Except today, all they’ve had out is bird seed. So we get sparrows, starlings, crows, magpies etc. The usual garden birds. And I was just sitting watching tv and heard a starling in pain, now we normally have a sparrowhawk come and go, but...

    Starling Roost sites in the UK

    Hello all, especially those in the UK I have had a break from a lot of social media but now the Starling Season is back I am concentrating on the website and map again. As we approach winter the Starlings start to gather and people across the country start to look for them at their roost sites...

    Starlings and Chokecherries

    These two look pretty stuffed. Plenty of berries left, but no room to put them in for a bit and apparently too stuffed to fly back to the pine trees where the flock were taking their breaks "between courses". The green background is blurred lawn. I'm not quite caught up browsing, but...

    More troublemakers

    At least 4 of the House Sparrows are newly fledged. But as for the Starlings, some are from the original nests and are now getting some adult plumage, some are from the second batch and there's some newly fledged ones there too. Gawd.... my window does suffer at this time LOL TTTW

    Lesson for Saturday: it pays to study a picture. I didn't know the House Sparrow was there until I looked closely at the picture.... just saw all the Starlings LOL. A beautiful sunny day, so I'm off to Kinnordy. See you later.

    The Birds

    That was the title that came into my mind when I saw this picture come up. I'd been for a walk around the town and on the way back saw this very large flock of Starlings settling on the roof tops. Though they were so mobile this is only a portion of them. Thought it'd do for Saturday Fun with...

    Another place on that road, where I've no idea where we'd got to. Heather Hopper was a bus service running in the Cairngorms National Park near here, sadly no more, but thought I'd pinch the name for my title. There was another huge flock of very mobile Starlings flitting around from side to...

    Not really a murmuration but...

    ... just after we left Vestsideveeien, we came to a sudden stop when we saw all these Starlings had taken to the air. Had to try and get a picture of it all.
