Scruffy Blackbird and Gargling Sturk

This blackbird looks a bit rough


In fact, I think he's put his missus' bloomers on.

How many sturklets ?????????????

Scrapping Sturks

The sturks were a bit scrappy today

Bath Time for Sturks

There's only room for about 4. Which gets a bit tense when there's 30 of them all wanting a go.

Doves and sturks

This sturklet is wondering what the doves are up to


I'm not sure they know themselves.


How many sturklets can you fit on a feeder?


And how fast can the get off it?


Why spend £50 on an aerator, when you can get free labour (weel, you have to pay them in fat and suet and worms

Mouthy sturklets

The baby sturks always have their mouths wide open











This chappie enjoyed sunning himself

Sturklets

It looks like this chap has had enough of the sturklets


The sturklets just won't leave the grown-ups alone.


They are just everywhere.

The sturklets have arrived

Well the sturklets have arrived. They hang out in the nurkery tree. I can't count more than 20 as I can't count fast enough before they move or fly off.


They are just balls of fluff


With big mouths, always open

Action Sturks

I think they were keeping an eye on me. Are they members of the S.A.S?


I was practically sat under the blue dish for this shot. They had very little fear when there were mealworms about.


"He's behind you"


"Get outta ma way"

Sturks

No need for any comments, these lovely birds speak for themselves

Starlings in May

I'm getting more and more starlings in the garden. I've had up to 10. No babies yet. Blimey, I'll need to start stocking up on food if it's anything like the last place.
