There was a large family of starlings outside the kitchen window tonight. Looks as though they have just fledged from the nest this evening. Quite comical to watch them bobbing along the wall and looking into every object along its top. Mum and dad are still feeding them and they all stand in an ordered line while the grub is dished up. it's quite nice to see starlings again as they have been noticeable by the absence these last few years. Granted they are not the most attractive avian sight but so very energetic and jaunty. Just a shame the weather has become so dismal but at least it did rain this morning and the water on the ground is most welcome.

Tonight I am mostly dozing, eating and watching Battlestar Galactica later, so to bed later with my head in the stars as I fall asleep to dreams of Cylons and spacecraft. But to be among the stars as I sleep doesn't seem so bad.

Hope you had a good weekend.
