    The bill turns yellow only during the breeding season. Males have a bluish base to the mandible as seen here, lacking in females. Adult birds are subtly iridescent depending on light angle. In this image one can see the shining purple and green colors as well as the white tips to the black...

    A bad hair day

    Not helped by the wet weather. However this style went on for weeks. I'm not sure if it's an odd moult or if he'd been in a battle with something. Thought this would do for my Saturday Fun entry this week. TTTW

    Meanwhile, further along the hedge

    the Starlings were harvesting their own section of the hedge. They weren't all that keen on posing where I could see them, though.

    Hungry horde

    During August and early September most of the birds desert my garden but every now and then a whole load of Starlings descend. Here's just a portion of them, think there were about 3 times as many as I've got here. Right little piggies for my SF picture. TTTW

    A load of young Starlings flocking together plotting their next raid on my window feeder!! This was most of the ringleaders, there were a few more on the other gable end, on the aerial and in the tree pretending not to be involved in the decision! TTTW

    Taking a rest

    The Starlings were really busy collecting food to take to the nests, they couldn't gobble up the meal worms quickly enough. Got this one taking a break on the beech hedge. TTTW
