Murmuring

We had to wait until early afternoon before the rain stopped but managed to get up to the allotment eventually. Didn't get a lot done (my digging form is completely gone) but made a start. And Mr H did a re-up of all the bird feeders.

This starling was sitting on the wire above him the whole time, watching. It  looks as if it's singing loudly, but it was just chattering quietly but intently. I don't know if it was telling D to get a move on with those feeders, or informing its chums in the bushes of his progress. As soon as he'd backed off they flocked down and started arguing loudly with each other and the sparrows.
