I thought about starlings too, and I have both of the species in my garden, which doesn't help

. I just thought that because the shell is smaller it might be dunnock. But it might be starling too. Whichever it is, well done on successful hatch

Starlings, blackbirds, robin, dunnocks and all the rest are frantically collecting food and flying away with their beaks full

. Those babies need feeding

. I can't put out food fast enough, every time its gone in minutes

The starlings here are doing the same. And a pair of blackbirds. not easy to hide food just for the blackbirds. Starlings manage to find it.

So true, starlings are the ultimate masters of finding food

. Oh and I can't fill the bird baths fast enough either, they bath all the time

, it must be hot and itchy in those nests.

Finding the same with the bird bath, have to refill several times a day. Surprised me at just how dirty the water gets, must have a dust bath first.

Its more what I heard really .... was woken up by that all familiar starling fledglings sound

, only to find out that it was only one baby!

Loud little fella

I know more will be on the way

. It always amazes me how noisy the parents become at the same time, they've been totally quiet and now they don't stop chattering

. Probably communicating with the little ones trying to fledge

Steady stream of customers at the feeding station today. The most and also more frequent are the goldfinches, they appear not to mind the rain when feeding.

I have walked past a few house that are hosting a Starlings nest today and the youngsters are very vocal. It can only be a matter of days before I get the visit.

I am sure there was at least one hiding in my ivy this afternoon. I had the sound effects but not the bird.
