Nice grab, cot, but that ain't no blackbird... that's an awful,

Yup. Starling. My second most hated avian species (after the Canada
Goose).
And the pigeon.
Third. My third most hated species, after pigeons and Canada Geese.
Never seen a flock of several hundred thousand (or maybe even into seven
figures...) wheeling around for 20 minutes before roosting? On of (if
not _the_) Northern hemisphere's most spectacular wildlife displays.
Individually, they are bungholes of the first order, although this one
is pretty altruistic, what with feeding the poor orphan blackbird chicks...
Whatever it is, it's a pretty good piccie, Cotters.
Jawohl.
