It’s been raining today where we are. I was fortunate enough to be downstairs when the birds arrived. I hadn’t put any food out, but there must have been plenty left from yesterday as the pigeons were desperately trying to keep the starlings off.
Trouble is the starlings are persistent little so-and-so’s, they don’t give up and will wheedle in wherever they can. I also noticed that they were paying a lot of attention to the fatballs which they don’t normally bother with, I’m glad I topped it up the other day.
There was even a police line of starlings searching the lawn for evidence of worm sign. That’s the effect of rain, it brings the worms to the surface. Even the magpies were strutting over the veggie patch.
Even the wagtail put in a brief appearance. I still thinks he’s frightened by the garden furniture.
Whoever it was visiting us, they are always a real delight to see.
