Common Starling
Guarding the entrance to it's new nest cavity. I can see this tree clearly from my front door step, and I've watched this bird cleaning out the cavity over the last few days. I hope it picked correctly. Although this is a favorite tree for starlings to nest in, it's a dead tree and very rotten...- wonderview

Buried treasure
The snow was soft so the nuts had fallen through. Didn't stop this Starling though... still managed to find his peanut. The day was very overcast and we had lots of snow falling on and off, so the quality of this picture has suffered, even though I tried my best with adjusting levels and stuff...- delia todd

First snow of the year
The end of the first week in January brought our first snow fall and a decent amount too, as you can see. Starlings had been rather in short supply for the previous few weeks, but they didn't forget where to get some grub when times got hard, did they!! So, guess you're in for a few snowy...- delia todd

Starling Sun gazing
... well there's no stars during the day... and it was a surprise to see some blue sky in the middle of a pretty wet autumn! The light didn't do me any favours; I've played about with the levels, but still not great detail in there, sorry. TTTW- delia todd

Feasting
This whitebeam was full of feasting Starlings that day, and perfectly lit by the sun. I got dozens of shots I'm really happy with, but rather than bore you with endless variations on the theme I've chosen this one, which I think was possibly the best of a good bunch.- Doc Duck

Before social distancing
Back when strangers could meet at the communal baths without worrying about households and "bubbles". Well, at least back when birds still could meet, before we learned there was a new bird flu spreading around Europe.- Doc Duck

Winter spots
This Starling seems to be ready for winter with his spotty coat on, and some people seem to be quite keen for some snow. But I'm quite happy with autumn colours still. TTTW- delia todd

Crashed out
I'd got loads of young Starlings around at that time, think this was now the second batch of them to come out of the nest.- delia todd

Although they are an invasive species and I have stated my dislike for them many times, I will grudgingly admit, they can be pretty if you take a close look.- wonderview

Playing Woodpecker
We're having lovely weather here this week - "Indian Summer". So after my Tuesday gym session I hiked over to the Moholt cemetery to see what birds were about. I decided to share a few shots from that session before going back to my chronology. So what did I see at the cemetery? I...- Doc Duck

Yellow Bellied Sapsucker, Common Starling
I spread peanut butter on the trunks of this small maple. The bark is smooth and birds like starlings and Blue Jays can't cling to it and cobble at their leisure. However woodpeckers can. The Starlings and Jays have to hover for a bite, so you often end up seeing a scene like this.- wonderview
