She had just missed a starling, near seventy or so roosting in some bramble bushes in front of me. Most flew off but some took refuge in the brambles and she was just looking at them.

Safty in numbers as they say.

Thank you both Jeff and Ian for your comments, if one of those Starlings had flown she was ready for it.

Not sure how I missed this first time round Martin, it's a real gem. Lovely detail throughout.

Thank you Graham appreciated.

A photograph I will always remember taking, gave me so much pleasure just clicking away and looking at such a beautiful bird.
