Тезаурус:
- Where until two years ago, the scattering of currants near the door was eagerly awaited by a clamouring mix of blackbirds, starling, robins and a songthrush or two, lately there has been almost an indifference to the largesse.
- There's this baby starling with these funny stubby wings trying to get to bits of the bread but the other birds are too quick for it.
- In diurnal and nocturnal species melatonin reaches a peak just after the dark, so for starling and rat the injection mimics the onset of night.
- Marcus Starling owns an Akita as a family pet and he emphasises the need for careful training right from the start.
- For the starling this is signal to calm down, while for the rat it is the start of its active period, but in both cases the same hormone seems to be responsible.
- That was the thrush ("he sings each song twice over") and she could also recognise the thoughtful song of the robin, a loner like herself, the virtuoso blackbird (why had so few poems been written in praise of him?) and the starling, with its one sweet note on a flute.
- The extensive studies on removal and transplantation of the ovaries by Knauer in Vienna (see Chapter 5) appeared in 1900 and the more general concept of hormones or blood-borne chemical messengers was elaborated for the first time by Starling in his Croonian lectures a decade after Beatson's observations (see Chapter 5).
- Quite how a man who could not bear to hurt a living thing after seeing the damage his childhood air-rifle did to a starling could serve as defence secretary is something of an enigma.
- The birds regularly recorded nesting on these cliffs are the Kestrel, Herring Gull, Jackdaw, Rock Pipit, Starling, House Sparrow and Stock Dove.
- A healthy worm population is evident, as I often see a thrush, starling or jackdaw feeding.
- The trappings of a domestic servant made her seem like a dove clothed in starling's feathers.
- A habitat detail not very fully covered was the age of trees, which must have some bearing on the distribution and numbers of hole-nesting species such as woodpeckers, tits, Nuthatch and Starling.
- Next to it was a picture of a rogue starling with the caption, "Have you seen this bird?"
