Last night the chicks were alone in the nest for the first time.
5:33 Big mouthful. one larv falls to the bottom of the nest.

9:35 there was still food left in the nest, mother takes it away.


They grow very fast. it seems that they are darker than in the morning.

Yes, they are growing very fast.

Starlings are always in movement, sleep a bit, preen a bit, open their mouthes, crawling a bit and so on... :D

Feathers grow nicely.

There are so many insects, that the starlings cannot sleep.
