A lovely sight

How lovely. We all need something to perk us up and nothing like Mother Nature ?

A lovely sight and also a lovely thought that they reached the other side safely.

How lovely ? Even lovelier to know that they made it safely across.

We had a ‘moment’ this morning - several starlings landed on the patio and they had their fledglings with them. We watched while the adults fed the squawking babies. Never seen that in real life before!

Yes they made it safely to the other side (I didn't have the heart to run them over ..................just kidding!)

Gorgeous!

I was walking home from work several years ago and it was first thing in the morning (worked a night shift - I'm a nurse). Suddenly I saw an animal on the grass about 6-8 feet away from me. At first I thought it was a cat, then realized it was a fox! We looked straight into each other's eyes for a few seconds, then it turned tail and ran off. It was absolutely surreal.

We have foxes in Canada, but they are not as common as I believe they are in the UK. They can pose a threat to livestock, most commonly chickens, but a good coop with a tight-latching gate is usually enough to keep them out, I believe.

That is lovely! i saw 2 starlings pecking away at some grass near my home yesterday,i haven`t seen starlings for years!

Fairisle That’s because they’ve all moved in here! I’ve never seen so many in a garden. Last year our roof was completely covered in them - the noise was deafening!

I'm feeding my granddaughter's fish while she is away camping with the rest of the family. On the way to their house this morning I saw a sterling with a break full of worms, sitting on the edge of the roof. I didn't see where it flew off to but it must have its best nearby. We rarely see them around here.

20+ starlings on the lawn this morning, they emptied the bird bath with their splashy washing. They must nest locally but I don't know where.

Totally agree Oldwoman70, had a similar moment out walking the dog.....two families of geese with half a dozen goslings a piece. They are lovely to watch, the Mum and Dad working together and keeping a watch out at all times.

We had starlings yesterday too!
