Where Did The Starlings Go?

[MWG14]

My garden has been inundated by starlings for years. They are greedy, drive out the smaller birds and steal their food.

But where have they all gone? I have put out bird food and they are no starlings to be seen. Did the extreme June/July heatwave drive them away?

How depressing Shoota:-(

Don't miss the swallow poop over everything but apart from that I miss watching them raise their families and their incredible flying skills.

I put a pod of Flutter Butter out and the starlings miraculously returned within a day.
