Starlings can be rather annoying…and perhaps *scary* as they seem to travel in massive numbers! They do have interesting, if not pretty markings!

Oops…hit the submit button too quickly! I wanted to say your photo is so cool. Everything is nicely focussed, making it appear that bird is moving VERY fast to eat!!!!
