New Life

Over the past couple of weeks we have had quite a few young birds in the garden mostly House Sparrows at first. Followed by Greenfinch and then finally on Friday our first Starlings. Since then the juvenile Starlings have been taking over the garden, eating everything we put out in pretty quick time (most of the photos have been taken through the window).

This Sparrow had just managed very nicely to catch a fly - you can just see the wings outside it's beak - but then sat quite a while with it hanging like that as if not quite sure what to do with it.

First sighting of the Starlings before they descended into the garden.

Greenfinch young, Dad was sat on the sunflower seed feeder above dropping seeds onto the floor.
