How many can you count?

On a dismal wet day, the Starlings have been keeping me entertained. They’ve been nesting in the eaves of a neighbour’s house, but have now fledged and have moved into our garden where there’s a plentiful supply of food. The Gleditsia Tree is their favourite perch, but they don’t sit still for long. At one point I counted nearly forty Starlings, just before they flew off for a lap of the garden. The noise they make is incredible!
