Starlings, lovely birds you can easily help

The starlings are really active in this sunshine, I've heard them going through their repertoire and distant oystercatcher was featured prominently today.

These birds are still red-listed and suffer due to loss of green spaces and nesting holes in urban areas, simple things to fix really, starling nest box and plenty of suet treats (with insects) ... and now is the perfect time to get this done.

Look at her face .... how can you resist!?!
