Starlings

More action from our garden in Peterborough (25.9.04). We do pretty well for Starlings and they were the first birds to take to peanuts. They had them to themselves for what seems like years, while the other birds concentrated on seeds put out. Now, though, other species, such as House Sparrows, Greenfinches and Blue Tits love peanuts, too, and Magpies and squirrels pick them from the ground and take them off presumably for storage.
