Mikepércs: Starlings II.

Last night I had a look at the starling hole and was relieved to see that the youngs are still inside, but a head is already looking out of it curiously. So, I have another try this morning. It's light already but the sun hasn't risen yet when the parents appear with the breakfast:

Starling

One of the youngs head is almost constantly out, it's familiarizing with the surroundings, ...:

Starling (young)

... and waiting for food of course:

Starling (young)

The youngs are "house-trained" already, they regularly drop out of the hole.
The parents get inside more rarely as a big open mouth prevents this:

I think a few more days and the youngs get out of the hole so, probably this is the last time I photograph this family.
