    FEATURE - Skrupellose Stare kämpfen um Nahrung


    A wildlife photographer has captured a series of images of starlings ferociously battling it out over food.

    Russell Taylor from Upchurch, Kent snapped the birds in his back garden.

    Once lockdown was announced Russell could no longer venture out to his favourite wildlife spots, so decided to focus his attention on his own doorstep.

    Because of the length of lockdown, Russell has been lucky enough to witness starlings arrive with their fledglings to raid his garden bird feeders, to them now being old enough to battle it out with their parents for food.

    "You watch these once proud parents degenerate into nervous wrecks trying to satisfy their fledglings insatiable demand for food,' explains Russell.

    "And then, when the youngsters finally become independent, there is no blessed relief for these adults, as the bird feeder becomes an arena of every bird for themselves, parents, brothers, sisters... there is no pretence. There is only survival..

    "The garden is now officially a Wild West saloon bar!"

Amateur photographer Tracy Lovelock, 57, caught the incredible formations on her camera last month as she watched an estimated 50,000 starlings at the RSPB Ham Wall nature reserve in Somerset. The array of unusual shapes were split-second illusions during a murmuration and appeared to show the birds form the outline of the iconic Twitter logo.
