Thursday's Hadleigh Breakfast Briefing
Thursday's thought...
As spectacular as a murmuration is, starlings are actually quite scruffy, chunky looking birds about the size of a Thrush; with pink legs, short tails and long slender beaks. At a distance they look black but in winter they are brown, heavily covered in white speckles. This spotting wears away as the feathers become worn towards spring. The female starling looks less glossy and oily than its male counterpart but a key difference to tell the sexes apart is by the colour of their bills; blue for the males and pink for the females. Juveniles look completely different with a brown plumage, and the normal lifespan of a starling is around 15 years. The best times to spot them in action is dawn and dusk
