Beautiful photos. Definitely a starling. Saw a bramble bush covered in them on a walk by the coast at the weekend, they were this colour too. (Not a single bramble left for me to pick either!)
I have a regular flock of Starlings visiting my garden and like you, this year I've also had lots of young ones with their buff coloured bibs and heads. It's great to see them developing into their usual colours 'tho. YOu are'nt wrong when you say they love suet pellets, that's about all they eat here, they ignore the sunflower seeds and other mixed seeds I put out.
I think it is definetly a Starling it is a very good photo. Where I am we get a huge flock and I saw them on a garage roof probably in a puddle having a bath. I could see lots of water flying up all over the place and lots of wings flapping.

gardeningfantic that's awesome. If only we had starlings. Just about everything else, but never a starling, sigh
