Lords of the flies

Red-cheeked Starlings were feasting on flies earlier this week.....................


This was near Oshamanbe................

There were piles of fishing nets which and flies were swarming all over them, an insect all-you-can-eat for the starlings.................

This is a common summer visitor to Hokkaido but has a very limited range in east Asia,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

These are all males.....................

Some females photo-bombed this shot............

There must have been over a hundred of them.............
