Our Janitors got a surprise today when they were checking the roof space and discovered a family of starlings had completed their very own loft conversion and moved in!
Under a vent in the wall was a huge mound of grass and twigs with a small nest on top. Inside the nest snuggled together were what we think are two tiny starling chicks. While the chicks seemed excited to see Mr Mackinnon and Mr Linklater they would have been much happier if it had been their mum or dad with some more food!
