STARLINGS
 

Having just remarked on the unusual lack of Starlings at this time of
year, I had a single solitary one visit the fat balls this week.

Slightly off topic but I can highly recommend the exhibition
"A bitter draught; the starling and slavery" at Shandy Hall, Coxwold
North Yorks. "sundays until january 2007"

Its about starlings and their lives and our relationships to and
perceptions of them. Also about Laurence Sterne, social justice,
citizenship and slavery. Held to celebrate the 200th anniversary of
Parliaments' abolition of the slave trade in 2007.

There seem to be more starlings this year than last, though nowhere near
as many as when I was little. Mum would let us go out to play "until
the starlings fly over" and then we'd to go in to tea: the flocks were
too big to miss, even for a little kid absorbed in a game.

The starlings here say they don't know anything about slavery, and they
think that might've been blackbirds.
