Continuing on from yesterday’s blog post, today I have the other birds that visited the puddle of water that the waxeyes were playing in. Most were just using it as a drinking hole, clearly not wanting to wash in the same water as the little greenies.

| Top Dog - The Starling |
There were plenty of house sparrows about as usual and only
one or two chaffinches. What was interesting from watching was the hierarchy of
the bird species. The starlings have established themselves as the top dogs and
will chase away anyone in their way. Followed closely by the blackbirds who
believe this is their turf! The sparrows and chaffinch were the first (because
they are quick and brave) and the last to feed after being chased off by the
bigger birds.
