SOGGY BABY STARLING by markp

SOGGY BABY STARLING

The local Starlings seem to use my garden, with plentiful supplies of food, water and cover, as a nursery and bring all their youngsters here. The numbers increase each year.
Its very hard to count them, at the very least there are 50, quite possibly twice that, maybe more.
They do keep you entertained though.

I watched one of these today, fall into some slightly deeper water, and it had to "swim" to the side. Also when they are very wet, they can't fly very well. They end up flying about 12 inches from the floor, and two flew into a wooden gate !
Another flew into the side of a tent, and bounced off !!
They might make a lot of noise but they are very funny to watch.

PS. No Starlings were hurt during the taking of these pictures.

Sounds like a whole host of entertainment in your garden. That is quite a substantial number you are entertaining at home. Love the action shot of this youngster.

Does sound like an active and entertaining corner of the garden. This guy looks a bit worse for wear.
