This young starling was having a good old stretch or was he simply mimicing an Angel

Well seen and very well taken Vince. The setting is the icing on the cake.
Best wishes

Love it - looks like this Starling wants to be on top of your Christmas tree

Being really really picky, it would have been nice to have had a touch of the top of the wing on the RHS too instead of it being behind the head.

Excellent timing Vince and the title is perfect. Definately a Christmas card this one.
