Those look to me like juvenile Starlings Boopcoltz. Was the photo taken in the summer? They probably hatched as chicks in the spring. By the autumn they will have grown a much darker, blacker plumage, like you ordinarily see on Starlings. They look like they are having a bit of a scavange for crumbs.

I agree Jonathan....starlings.....

I agree too, they are juvenile starlings. they have a dull brown plumage that becomes the bejewelled one in late spring/early summer.

Yup juvenile starlings... Keep them off tables where food is or they can spread disease.

Is this photo taken in the UK?

That looks like a bay in Dorset to me.

definitely young starlings

I was looking at the RSPB February 2010 issue.

There is a list of common Birds one being a Starling, it shows
it being black/Dark grey with a yellow beak quite small.

I thought these were Starlings as soon as I see the photo.

Moon Grower told us they were juvenile Starlings. Do they change as they
get older?

I am sure everybody is right, makes you wonder though!!!
