Starling feeding

Blimey it must be hungry, it's eating its parent

I've not seen any youngsters yet, but I bet it won't be long.

Very hungry

We had 4 here tonight, made me laugh as they are calling for food while sitting on it.

No chance to get the camera out but yesterday our “resident” male Sparrowhawk took a sparrow from one of the shrubs in our garden.
Lots of noise then he landed on the ground with the bird in his claw before flying off.

It was late afternoon so he must be feeding young on the nest.

It was certainly a site to behold.

Can anyone ID this youngster looks like a juvenile gold or green Finch but I could be wrong. Sorry for the rubbish photos taken on my phone heavily zoomed in didn't get chance to get the Nikon out.

 

[Darren]

I'm pretty sure thats a Linnet

 

[Craigt0912]

I'm pretty sure thats a Linnet

Thank you for the ID would never have guessed at that, it was happily munching on dandelions till the resident blackbird escorted it away.

Oh I love a Sparrow, underrated little birds I reckon.

The young ones are still in the nest box, but getting a good feed.





Do you think there's enough to start the nest with ?

The young ones are still in the nest box, buy getting a good feed.

My blue tits are long gone

Do you think there's enough to start the nest with ?

However I have a couple of starlings ( I saw them together) collecting nesting material. in the form of the dried fallen bamboo sheaths that cover the growing stems.

A magpie apparently eating some earth. Presumably there is a larva in there, but he swallowed the lot!
