Small starling flock, Perton

Small starling flock, Perton

Small flock of starlings which landed high in one of the trees by the larger pool at Perton. You might be able to spot a goldfinch sharing the tree with them in one of the pictures in the middle of the sequence – though you’ll probably need to see the picture full size on a largish screen to do so.
