Starling in the Garden

Most people don't get excited about starlings but I do, for several reasons:
Their numbers are in serious decline
We rarely see them in the garden
They're very comical to watch
I love the beautiful irridescence when the sun catches their feathers.

I love the sort of heart shaped markings on their chest. The perfect Valentines Day bird!

I enjoy watching the squabble. Do you knw what the birds are in the foreground?

I love starlings (but not when they eat all the cherries from our tree ;-).

We have a lot of them squabbling away like naughty children. They look beautiful in the sun though.
