Blooming divas (Corvus monedula)

I was so nicely focused on the Jackdaw when who should appear but a Starling, very nearly blocking everything else out of the shot!!

Although Jackdaws are around quite a lot, they don't usually visit the feeders, so I was a bit miffed LOL

Saturday Fun, TTTW

The Starling looks very impressive, Delia, but I suppose that's because it was so close. Most of our Starlings fly south for the winter and I haven't seen one for weeks. We have Jackdaws but they don't visit the garden very often.

Lol, I see the Jackdaw never lost its focus on the fat balls though. Excellent shot despite the starlings attempt to ruin it. First-rate D!
