Normally the garden is fairly quiet, with just the usual suspects appearing, as the resident Sparrow hawk tends to keep bird life fairly limited.
Having come back home just before lunch after finding another new site I was greeted to a huge flock of Starlings, stripping the fat cake left for the Blue tits/Blackbirds. With over 18 birds, four adults 14 juveniles they were systematically eating the fat cake, the noise was deafening, the action pure chaos and the old Apple tree was alive with heaving bodies, every bird demanding to be fed! Where to focus, pure luck as the action was on a constant moving basis, light was of a premium and the MK3 battery was on charge so had to swop to the 5D4. The adult is sharp, the juvenile just a fraction out, but not bad for the 5D4 at ISO6400.
Thanks to those who viewed or commented on the previous posting.
