A starling. He had a shiny new screw.
He kept dropping it onto the glass and then scuttling around and picking it up and dropping it again. Seemed to like the sound or something. Every time it rolled off the rounded surface, he brought it back again. He was there long enough for me to get my camera and get about 6 shots.... then, finally ....flew off.....
We were laughing our heads off.
It's probably one of those things where you actually had to be here to get the full effect...but, at least it will bring a smile.... for a Friday....

Better than divebombing birds. There's one in NY and one in Hamilton.

Oh Vee, you explain it so well.. and he was there for such a long time. He really was preoccupied with his task.
I would have loved to have been there.. so glad you got some shots!!!
ps. I love your textile design below.. beautiful sampler.
That's funny. I usually get a kick out of the squirrels that wrestle in the lawn. It's fun to see animals entertaining themselves.
I know magpies like to collect stuff but that sounds like the starling was just playing - a young one maybe? x jo
An unusual toy but it does sound like he was having fun, cheeky chappy!
lol proof that all animals will play when given the right toy
What a funny little happening. Yes, It would definitely have made us laugh too. The antics of birds are simply gorgeous to see.
Love your skylight too :D)
