It's only when you see a close up of a starling do you see all the little hearts on his chest. Such beautiful markings. When he is caught in sunshine you can also see the fabulous colours in his feathers which don't show up when in shadow as he is in this shot. They move around so quickly it is really hard to actually capture one who is standing still.
This morning the starlings are stripping the feeders and the noise of them squawking at each other is really loud. Finlay going mad trying to catch one!! Out of luck Finlay!!
