Starlings on a walnut tree.

*Hey Leon, come here! You have to see this!"*

*Check that out! I found a human behind the glass. He must be trapped inside...*

*Move a bit Bernard I can't see anything!*
*It is right there. And it is looking at us! Leon.. time to go..*

And so they flew away :)
I  shot them from our kitchen window though the glass. We have this big  walnut tree right outside. Seems like a stop for all kinds of birds..

I like *Starlings*, though they can be annoying pests in orchards. They just love fruits. But in the other hand they are so cheerful, have pretty shiny feathers and sing so nicely :)
They do not fly away for the winter and when it starts to snow they always get some fruits from us that we don't manage to eat.

I love starlings too. In my neighbourhood they are gathering in flocks, eating from nut/berry trees getting ready for the long flight to the south. Very hard to get a decent photo, so all creds to you! Great shots!

Yeaaa they always fly in groups. When you see one you can be sure others are around. In Poland they stay for the winter (or maybe just some...) 
Thank you! :D
