Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)

Watched the chick with occasional visits from the parent for around 20 minutes. At no stage did the parent offer food, despite the chick's persistent begging.

I gave up in the end but wonder if the parent was trying to encourage the chick to fly off with it.

LOL That youngster is hungry methinks!!! And rather angry at being ignored.

That's a super image Colin - many thanks lad.
