Starlings

Counted up to 30 Starlings on the feeder. Took some video. One young bird hit the conservatory window but fortunately flew away unharmed having hopefully learnt a lesson.


Very quick visit to Fowlmere (just the hide and back). Blustery winds and left when heavy rain started. A pair of Shoveler (going into eclipse plumage) and a single male Tufted Duck (female hidden on a nest?) were birds of note.
