Starlings and a Blackcap ?
Couple of starlings around the garden today. Thankfully none of these ones seemed to have the red lumps (avian pox) around the eyes that I noticed a month or so ago.
And what I presume is a blackcap ? - first time I've seen one in the garden.

Blackcap indeed Phil, a male and a canny shot. Starlings a great birds, much maligned but real bobby dazzlers and so social.

Nice capture on the blackcap Phil.....You seem to live in an ideal location for bird life, having plenty of different species passing through your garden

Cheers folks
Number 2 was on the Autumnwatch home page earlier but it's gone now as it just rotate's the Flickr images that Autumnwatch tag as 'favourites' from those submitted to the Autumnwatch group.
