And if it’s not them, it’s the parakeets. The family lives right opposite the school, so see everything that goes on.

Look at them all – probably all the parent starlings after they have dropped off the youngsters at school!

It’s a good place for a starling housing estate.

Very clever! I imagine the parakeets must be very noisy (compared to the starlings) – they have such an intrusive squawk I feel, rather than the twittering sounds of our native birds. We have lots of them near us.

It is a slightly pained squawk, isn’t it?

They tend to get together in the fields here, the crows claim the roofs, the starlings the trees and the sparrows the hedges. Each to his own 😂

Think of them as shadow puppets. That might make them more benign.
