It can get very busy when the brat pack arrives, at least a couple of dozen Starlings all wanting a wash and brush up at the same time. There are a lot of youngsters this year, distinguished by their brown feathers. When one has a bath they all get a shower. As always there is plenty of noisy squabbling:
After a good bath which turns the water from clear to a murky brown they spend time preening in the sunshine.
Have a great weekend observing the antics of the wildlife around you.
That was a grand sight. Good to see so many juveniles.
