Disliked by many because of its 'boisterous' behaviour, the Starling is a handsome bird in its own way. A predator upon pest insects and a species whose aerial manoeuvres in a flock, or murmuration, never ceases to amaze those who see it when the declining UK population is enhanced by those wintering here from Scandinavia and as far east as Russia.
