I was sitting on a bench in the Civic Square when someone either dropped or threw down a bit of sandwich.
Immediately a pack of pigeons descended and pounced on the offering.
However it was a starling that was first to break out of the pack with a titbit in its beak.

The starlings are pretty quick.. I have seen them devour food and birdseed.. Great shot.. Thank you for linking up to my critter party.. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like quite a crowd!
ReplyDeleteSilly starling stays separate, savors sandwich!
ReplyDeleteCompetition between Starling and Pigeon! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThe bravest gets the prize! Birds always amaze me when it comes to feeding--they are usually much braver than I expect.
ReplyDeleteI bet you can't say that fast five times without getting your tongue twisted?!!! What a great title for your post ... and fantastic photo of the pigeons and starlings.
ReplyDeleteThank you ever so much for sharing the link to your bird post at I'd Rather B Birdin' this weekend!!
a hungry punch!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the Starlings.
ReplyDeleteRavenous beasts! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat photo but feeding birds at Hyde Market should be banned!
ReplyDeleteIn Ashton they fine people £75 for feeding the pigeons
DeleteThanks for the update Gerald, they should also be fined at Hyde Market. Where are the enforcement officers?
