Magnetic Starlings

Sparrow magnets! 

No sooner do a few starlings land in the garden pond for a good bath than they are joined by a crowd of sparrows. In they went, too, right among the bigger birds. All shared the facilities quite happily. My photos (taken through the window) have only caught three starlings and one, very innocent looking, sparrow in the same shot, but there are Extras, too.

Not sure where the day's gone, but I've an airing cupboard full of ironing, a shiny bathroom floor, and some vacuumed carpets, so that's something!
