| Swirling robins and starlings competed for the red berries of the barberry and the blue berries of the privet. |
| For years, before I had my stoep enclosed with a roof, swallows, swifts and European starlings nested under the eaves. |
| Back at the start again it was noisy, with starlings, fieldfares, and flocks of young children. |
| A great winter flock of starlings roosted in the trees around the clearing. |
| Sparrows, starlings, Indian mynahs and feral pigeons rarely visit Australian gardens, which welcome an array of colourful native birds. |
| I have this week watched starlings, jays and woodpigeons gorging themselves on rowan berries. |
