My new best friend - pt I

Today I made a new and unexpected friend: meet Mr (or possibly Mrs) Starling, on my rear view mirror! Now I don't deny being a bit of a birdwatcher, no siree, but this was quite incredible to have this wonderfully responsive creature so close to me.

Initially I only took a couple of still pictures, just to preserve the moment, but then the bird didn't seem bothered at all, so I switched to video...you wont guess what happened next though.

Part II to follow!
