Young Starling (and Collared Dove)

The Starlings are out in force - the youngsters learning to feed themselves and they love the bird bath.
I have seen something this year that I have not seen before - a Collared Dove eating Niger seeds. Previously I have only seen Goldfinches eating Niger - I noticed they were going down quickly although we had no Goldfinches at the time then I spotted the Collared Dove which does of course have a fine pointed beak which will go in the holes of the Niger feeder as you can see in the 'extras'
