Kung Fu Starlings

By teocali
A pair of juvenile Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) sparring, Kung Fu style, on the top of a 40ft telegraph pole in our lane - hilarious to watch! A real grab shot, taken from 20.7m away.

My thanks to you all for your C&Cs on my last upload - all very much appreciated as ever Smile
