Relentless

I thought being a parent was hard work but having watched these starlings this afternoon I am certainly glad I am not one of the feathered variety!
These birds just do not stop... with the exception of momentarily checking out if the human pointing a barrel in the direction of their nest was a threat or not.... I lost count of how many trips the pair made in the half hour that I watched. They start at dawn and finish at dusk. They must be exhausted. The nest is near my sons room and I have only just stopped hearing the chirping chicks on his monitor!. I Look forward to the little ones emerging.
