Common Starling / sturnus vulgaris. Wells, Norfolk. 29/09/15.

 

The large groups of Starlings that assemble around the harbour do so because of the rich pickings to be had.

People have a habit of off-loading scraps from their fish and chip take-aways onto the harbour wall. Nothing goes to waste and the starlings look good on their high cholesterol diet!

When not scavenging, the birds perch up on the rigging of boats and in particular one old, rather spectacular sailing ship. It is always worth devoting a little time to image making when in Wells.
