I have some stored bee hive frames that have become heavily infested with wax moth grubs and larvae. The wax combs are wrecked. Usual procedure is to put them outside in hives to kill them with the cold. I put mine out in the open on 3x2 runners, for the tits. They have not disappointed, with Starlings and 'the' Robin sorting through the fallen dross.
4.10 this evening fortunate enough to see the biggest mass of Starlings, for about 8 years, heading in the direction of the Midroilyn roost. They were flying very high and I watched a continuous large stream amongst which were three huge 'flocks'. I saw the first go past through to the last ones about 30 seconds later. I reckon the whole lot were about three quarters to a mile in length. The leaders were well out of site before the back markers went through.
