Starlings
The most beautiful of birds; subtle and clever.
Catch them in the sunlight and they become bright glowing greens, golds and purples, a beautiful expression of natures perfect palette

Just spent 4 days at Coastguards Cottage at St Aldhelm’s, sadly didn’t find the wet area :( on our searches around the headland
Wonderful place though

Fantastic trip to St Aldhelm’s Head in Dorset for few days

Thanks Steve, we nearly walked straight by it, it was on a bit of flooded field near the entrance

Mark James @rabbitman22.bsky.social · 28d

Right place at the right time. Turned up at RSPB Marazion Marsh to find a Glossy Ibis feeding on the flooded field
