Starlings

European Starling John Charman

Another lovely morning, though this time I spent it in bed with my laptop tapping away, missing God knows what at the Scrubs. 

It looks like I'll be heading off to Scotland next Thursday to chase Waxwings. I only hope that there will be sizable flocks to see. I also have to organise my impending trip to Brighton to report for the RSPB on their 'Arnt Birds Brilliant' stand setup outside the Starling roost on Brighton Pier.

It's incredible to think that they were once so common.
