Even though they're noisy and continually pooping on my car, they're still charming, in a comic rough-and-tumble sort of way.
They love each other's company - starlings are the little guys that form massive swirling formations in autumn and winter. If you've never seen it, you'd never believe it. This 5-minute video is by a chap called Dylan WInter, and it's well worth a look:
They're not doing that in my garden, but it's impressive enough the way they work their way through the grubs and insects.
Ask what colour they are, and most people would say black or grey, and some would remember the speckles. It isn't until you look closely that you see the iridescent greens and blues.
