Field Notes

Description:

Called Spotless Starlings because in Spring and summer all their spots have worn away and they have a glossy black plumage. At the end of the autumn moult their new feathers have white spots at the tips but these quickly wear away. They can be separated from the common Starlings by their very long throat feathers (see pic 3). <br>
In pictures 1 & 2 a House Sparrow is sitting amongst them.

Beach
