Smashing shot, wish my dogs would stop chasing them off!

Kind regards Maria

Hi Maria
I bet the dogs chase them to get a noisy reaction but knowing cheeky Starlings they will soon be back when the dogs aren't about. This year was the first time I saw a proper Starling murmuration and it was two minutes from home. Here's the link to my video of them. https://flic.kr/p/iNCj2H

Apparently not a good idea to put bread out when young ones are around as it can expand in their throats and choke them!
