Bird of the Day - Starling

Hello again! Birdwatching with me today were from Class 4.
Birds we spotted were:

chaffinches
black headed gull
blackbirds
robin
woodpigeon

and Bird of the Day was the Starling -  two of these flew over us. Starling are well known for gathering together in big flocks and making big swirly patterns in the sky before going to bed - no one knows why they do this - just because it's fun is my guess!

Finally, well done to Jessica for working out that a starling gets its name because it is sparkly like a star:

They may be common but they are a lovely bird! Until next time...
