Call of nature?

There are dozens of starlings in the gardens nearby. They are squawking and calling, not moving much. They jump and hop and circle a little but other than that, they are sitting, making a cacophany. There is no assonance in their birdsong. They seem angry.

It's an odd sight and rather too Hitchcockian for comfort.

  1. Maybe they are confused that it is freezing & wet but almost June, all the more puzzling for a bird since it was so warm in April . . .

  2. This is very true. They seemed so bothered, poor birds. I was surprised at just how long they stayed in one area – hours...

  4. Hi Priyanka – I didn't think people would enjoy reading about those calls of nature. Best kept as private moments, I think!
