This is not the first time these starlings have appeared in a squares challenge or for Monday Portraits. I wonder if anyone can guess what the theme was the last time?

Their Portuguese name is ‘Estorninho-preto’ and here’s the post where I shared a little bit more about them. I wrote it less than two months before Robert died, and reading that post now makes me smile. Not only was there a link to seven on the day I posted it, it also brings back happy birding memories. There is also a giggle today as the photograph inspired one of you to start singing Leonard Cohen lyrics last time! She will know who she was as she has been singing Cilla and Kylie since.
Here we are, as promised: https://margaret21.com/2024/09/09/7-x-ducks-ducklings-geese-goslings/

I never find birds that co-operatvive… I suppose it depends on the conversation they’re listening to 😂 Here’s mine: https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2024/09/09/july-over-the-years-6-sevenforseptember/

Looking forward to seeing your 7 b 7 later, which by the way would have worked for the previous challenge!

lines would have worked as previous theme wouldn’t. Wasn’t lines though!

I remember this photo and I’m thinking the challenge theme may have been lines. I’m so glad these memories make you smile now.

lines would have worked and I did enjoy the lines theme. But it wasn’t lines!
