In no time, they had descended on our fat-ball feeder and started to devour the lot!
Welcome to my blog. Don't expect anything too high-tech or flashy, this is simply a 'diary' to share some of my photos, thoughts and observations - with a particular bias towards the natural world and the countryside around my home.

Shine
As I mentioned yesterday, our walk along the Nutbrook Trail towards the lakes of Straw's Bridge, was somewhat tempered by the downpour which had us sheltering under a bridge. The bridge used to carry rail tracks from the local mineral lines and crossed the Nutbrook Canal, and the towpath alongside it. The paths, walls and leaves, all had a silvery shine in the wet
Back home and when the rain eventually stopped, the local Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) population was out and about in search of food and keeping up a constant chattering and whistling as they perched on the neighbour's TV aerial. The iridescent nature of their plumage shone, even in the dull light of a cloudy morning.
In no time, they had descended on our fat-ball feeder and started to devour the lot!

You're lucky to have so many beautiful paths to follow.
