I did not expect to have time to take photos or blog while I was here in the UK and this is a little unplanned. I walked along the towpath of the canal this morning while heading to the shops and this starling just posed so beautifully for me.
Common starling (Sturnus vulgaris),
This murmuration of starlings was taken just down the road from the above photos on Christmas Day last year.
Eurasian blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) was nearby...
as was this European goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis).
