The migratory starlings have now arrived, overrunning the small native population... which is similar to what happens to Cornwall with the holiday makers in summer.

Black and white square picture looking straight down a lane, that's glistening in the light of fresh rain, heading away from us in the middle of the picture towards some buildings in the distance. There are dark tall hedges on either side, and a straight vertical pole holding power lines up is sticking up into the bright part of the rain clouded sky above in the distance. The cables running to the pole on either side of the top of it are covered in the silhouetted dark shapes of perched, and probably loudly and busily chattering starlings.
