Taken last month a starling roost ritual which appears to have formed a Minnie Mouse from behind with huge butt. Well it looks like Minnie Mouse to me. (Other options will be considered .LOL )Mark

Good stuff. (I can think of one other possible !!)

I'm amazed by the sequence of starling flocks and this is another great one. I would get rid of the one dot below Minnie's nose which sticks out a bit.

Thanks guys , Ian the big splodge below Minnie's nose is a peregrine , I'm reliably informed.

Now that the tone of the site has been lowered very nice I love the shape you have caught the bloke standing next to you must have wished he was alone Yes its a peregrine but then again Andy P said it was and he is the only bloke I know that can swear blind he has saw a night heron which turns out to be a lapwing

Imagination is a wonderful thing. God knows how you get minnie mouse out of that, but each to their own. Nice colours though.
