Thanks for the explanation. We used to have very tame song thrushes in the garden years ago, but they have gone now. Shame because their song is beautiful.

It may be my processing but from memory that's about right...similar to adult female except the speckle breast. Speaking of which ....just discovered that young goldfinches have a speckled breast too... ![]() Click here to comment on this image. I love the bemused look on its face....â€you mean, stick my head in that hole?â€

Well that's it folks. I am giving up photographing baby's starlings. I foolishly sprinkled some mealworms on the lawn closer to the house and did some videoing of them feeding, drinking /bathing in the water bath. Lovely close footage using the 500mm lens on the D850. The squawking and feeding frenzy was very loud. So much so, it attracted one of the several killer cats in the area which shot out of the border and grabbed one of the young birds I had been filming. I chased after the b*stard and it dropped the bird to escape over the fence ...but the damage had been done. One of 'my cast members' died in my hands. To make matters worse, in the process of acting like a 20 year old, I fell over and b*ggered my arthritic toe ...that had only just recovered from several weeks of a gout attack. ![]() Who would have thought bird photography could be so dangerous?
