We interrupt the photo-essay from Kruger National Park for some images of the starling flock in the back garden this Spring.
 |
| Adult starling high in a hawthorn tree in blossom (the hawthorn is also known as the May) |
 |
| Adult and offspring. |
 |
| Starling fledgling - no spots or yellow beak yet, these will appear later. |
 |
| And there is one thing that the juvenile starlings just love on a sunny day - they love to bath - even when there is not enough room for them all. |
 |
So double tier bathing is quickly instigated
And whilst we are out in the garden what is the goldfinch doing down on the lawn? |
 |
| Answer:he is eating the seeds from a dandelion head |
Oh and here's a handsome crow.
