Favourite feeding station for the starlings

Although seen in their millions in the spectacular winter aerial displays, starlings have suffered a dramatic population crash in recent years. Once a common sight in both urban and rural areas of Britain, starling numbers have dropped by a staggering 92% in woodlands. These beautiful and comical birds emit a variety of chuckles and whistles along with numerous imitations of other birdsongs. From a distance they look a dull black but up close the myriad of colours in their feathers becomes visible.
