Shetland Common birds doing well

 It always good to see some common birds in good number and both Shetland Starling and House Sparrows are present in good numbers unlike the rest of the UK


Beautiful colours on our Starlings


In the sun the colours of the Starlings really show off well and these were taken down at Leebitton



Down at Leebitton i recon that there must be about 100 Starlings and close by at Sandlodge another 100


On rough grassland close by another 200-300. At home we have a couple of hundreds of birds flying over as its going dark going to roost


House Sparrows are very underrated and again we have them in good numbers. Flocks of around 100 in both places, either feeding in gardens or in a small area of mixed woodland beside Sandlodge






Sparrows don't roam far and their seems to be plenty of food locally
