Starlings

One of the blogs that I follow - The Friends of Charles Darwin blog - The Red Notebook - had a link today to a video of starlings and their amazing in flight acrobatics. I remember seeing such flocks of starlings as a child in England but I hadn't noticed such phenomenon since that time. However as the video shows they are still up to their tricks.



The funny thing, or perhaps not so funny, is that Google Ads in the USA throws up a banner ad along with this video for starling eradication services. One man's wonder is another man's pest.


While you are looking at starlings - check out this other video and marvel at how such a small bird can sway such a large tree.
