serenading starling

Seven starlings

Eight starlings
A group of eight starlings (only seven pictured) descended on our garden feeders this morning in rural Worcestershire, UK. They feasted noisily on the fat balls for about half an hour, keeping everyone else at bay, and then departed. I don't think they were missed by any but the humans who had enjoyed watching them.
