    And then there were four

    Not quite ready to migrate yet back then. I guess they were still refueling and gathering into bigger flocks. But they're long gone now.

    Look both ways before crossing

    Good advice. They were getting ready to cross the North Sea to spend their winter in Britain.

    Best seats at the pitch

    Part of a large flock of starlings that had perched on one of the light masts, facing the youth football pitches at Lade - this particular part of Lade being a long flat stretch with two parallel roads, various "big box" stores and industrial buildings, and a large park space where the...

    Murmuration

    This is a close up of a murmuration on the Somerset Levels. Taken in January 2014 there was believed to be around 1.5 million birds in the group. Quite a sight.

    Beat that Kev!

    This picture was taken just a few days before the Starlings disappeared for a few weeks. They're back again now, and I'm sure there's even more of them LOL. This is the neighbouring garden, there sure seems to be something tasty in that grass! I'm so excited... I saw a Wren in the beech hedge...

    Hungry Starlings

    Saturday Fun- I had a delivery of RSPB bird food the other day, ready for winter. I was in the garden putting out new feeders and topping up the others, when I looked up to see these Starlings on my neighbours roof waiting to be fed.

    ... or how many Starlings fit in a feeder? The young starlings arrived in their droves the other day. Normally Mr Black Spot can hold his own against a single adult but this lot overwhelmed him. There's 4 there and I think at least one more in the background trying to get in. Once before when...

    Starlings in Spring - 2

    Whereas Carann's starlings were displaying extensively, "my" starling Don Juan flew in for a fraction of a second, then took off again. Love 'em and leave 'em seemed to be his motto. Sheer luck that I caught the action. I'd only just got her is focus when he flew in. Caught the action...

    Starlings in Spring - 1

    I sort of promised Carann that I'd show this series. The story is: I was strolling about the park where dad's cousin's memorial was to be when I spotted a starling. Rather high up so it wouldn't be as good a shot as some I had from before, but it was the first from the Geneva trip, so I took a...

  22. Blown away

    Blown away

    One starling seemed totally blown off his perch by the blast when the jackdaw took off. When that was a problem, you have to wonder how he's managing in tonight's third storm in a day and a half. But the starlings we saw in the murmuration had just weathered two days of such storms, so I'm...

    Another image with a man-made structure involved. Couldn't resist as the setting really tickled my fancy. Also, there's a follow-up shot when the jackdaw takes off.

    A sky full of starlings

    Look up! Look out! Fortunately none of these starlings pooped as they flew over our heads, but the two folks who took their beers out onto the pier to watch the starling show were living dangerously :eek!: They may show up in later posts.

    From the Aberystwyth murmuring

    Yesterday, SIL suggested we drive into Aberystwyth just before sunset and watch the Aberystwyth murmuring as hundreds of thousands of starlings returned from foraging here and there around Central Wales and flew to the pier to roost for the night. They stay in the woods when it's too stormy - as...
