The Starlings arrive

This morning I heard some muttering and whistling up in the trees. It sounded like insults and taunts.


There was a little gang of bullies gathering.

They are not very brave but there are a LOT of them. They always stick to their gang.
They have just chased away the Mockingbird and are busily eating up all the oat cakes I put out this morning.
From a distance they look like black lumps, but if you get close you can see the little white spots on them. You can see why they are called Starlings.
