Most bird-song is either “SEX, GET YOUR SEX HERE, LOVELY SEX” or alternately “COME AND FIGHT ME YOU MISERBALE NO GOOD LOSERS” some even manage both at the same time.

you forgot.

Just to update this, it not a nest.

It's one bird.

One jeffin' loud bird.

Strangely there are signs a nest was there this year, but not now.

Just him.

And his favorite spot is on the gutter outside my window.

And he's still there. Even as I type. His whole purpose in life appears to be just to tweet endlessly from the front of my house. In the same spot.

For hours. Every day. From 5am.

Well it hasn't found a mate and it's just there screeching its head off from just after sunrise, every day.

I'm starting to think it's a bit broken in the head.

The rate that the starlings are consuming the fatballs, (I’ve discovered that they will eat one particular type of Wilco’s own brand, thankfully) has gone up, and they’re emptying the four wire-mesh peanut feeders that I fill with suet pellets in a day, more or less - I fill them all up in the evening, and there’s barely a couple of inches left by lunchtime the next day! I was doing some washing up at around lunchtime, and there was one young starling sat on a branch by a feeder, who’d obviously decided to stake out the all-you-can-eat buffet while the rest had buggered off, and was there stuffing it’s face for well over half an hour, maybe more! And the noise! I reckon there’s around thirty starlings, and none of them are nesting on any of the neighbouring houses.
Im considering setting up a GoFundMe to help pay for the food, it’s costing me a fortune.

The sparrows have bred well this year, lots and lots of fledglings.
Lots and lots of other baby birds too. The feeders are emptying quickly.
I've not seen a baby robin yet :o)
