STARLINGS
Re: STARLINGS
Loved the tame starlings on Springwatch Unsprung tonight.
There were about 8 of them and they just liked sitting on people's heads. It was a joy to watch, I had a big smile on my face all the way through.

Re: STARLINGS
I've had 2 ages of sturklets today. The babies were making a godawful noise "feed me, feed me NOW" and the older ones just getting on with eating.

Re: STARLINGS
Same here. Definitely another round of Youngsturks. The older ones have settled down but the new'uns are noisy. I reckon that the new Sturklets have to be louder to compete with the other Youngsturks and get the attention they need for feeding. I've actually noticed a Youngsturk feeding a Sturklet, which was nice to see. I'm hoping that I get a better survival rate this year as last year many did not make it to adult.
