Well, I'm sure the starling would be annoyed to be an afterthought!! ;) I really like the second starling shot.
But, you're going have to help me out, what is SHE?

I haven't got that close , don't want her to abandon them but she's in and out of the box all day, each time she goes in she has a big beakful of food, but she sure does look knackered.

bad news i'm afraid the mother and chicks are dead :(, I noticed yesterday that there was loads of ants around the nest box, today when i checked there was even more, i took a look inside and it appears it was all to much for the mother, 1 dead blue tit 3 dead chicks and 3 unhatched eggs :'(

Ah that's so sad poor things :(

2nd starling shots a cracker - it looks so poised for action!
