I usually start this thread by cheating and having a pic of a baby Feral Pigeon that I have rescued. Not this year. Today, the first of the Little, Little HTR's arrived in the garden, right on schedule. It is currently in the flowering currant. Little HTR has been taking dozens of waxies to the nest and this morning I noticed him going via the flowering currant. I just had a little look and saw a fledgling in there.

Its been mayhem in the garden this past week with Starlings, some times upwards of 50 screaming on feeders, bird bath and the lawn.
Just a little flavour of the recent chaos.
They are certainly clearing the lawn of leatherbacks and other bugs, it looks like its been aerated in places.
They love a good bath.
There are even times when they don't squabble.
They can even share, occasionally
But mostly they just scream, food, food, food...

One from this morning just before Starlings spooked everything from the feeders. Sadly taken through the window as its toooo cold and windy to have them open today after we've just had the first rain since March.
Gold and Greenfinch sharing a perch. The Goldie had just turned around as I pressed the button, damn it.
The Goldie on its own before the action
Another from this morning, not sure if its looking cross or bemused (must have spotted me looking out)
