Just had this sent from a friend in Guisborough

I've had a Beer or three but I am seeing Starling here...

Mike Tucker

I think you are right Ian, I couldn't work out the yellow bill. Thanks for the correction, a young bird I think you will agree.

What a beauty find Mike, Any all white bird is a joy too see, even the humble Starling as Ian says.

Well a young bird (Juv) should show a dark bill, so i'd guess not? Not actually seen any fledged Starling this year yet but must be due any day soon... A very smart bird either way!

Cheers

Ian.

Second photo, there are young Starlings about near me Ian,I am still convinced its a young bird or possibly an ill one. Thanks for the reply.

Ian Foster

Think you are probably right and yes I agree its probably ill. It don't look too happy!
