Description
Close by our house, there is an Ash tree; the leaves are often among the last to open in spring, and the first to fall in autumn if an early frost strikes;
I have been amazed at the variety of birds landing in this tree; one reason is certainly that Ashes are used as food plants by the larvae (caterpillars) of a number of Lepidoptera species (see list !)
The European Starling, Common Starling or just Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is a passerine bird in the family Sturnidae.
This species of starling is native to most of temperate Europe and western Asia. It is resident in southern and western Europe and southwestern Asia, while northeastern populations migrate south and west in winter to these regions, and also further south to areas where it does not breed in Iberia and north Africa.
In French: Etourneau sansonnet
