Having written all that stuff about Starlings creating little groups when perching on overhead wires, and shuffling about to ,presumably, infiltrate other groups and so on, or maybe it is all some attempt to signal to us lowly humans... when my ever-dimming brain remembered these pictures I took ... but on cranes instead of wires. It is on the blog somewhere but I can't find it, so I've dug out those very same pictures .... for your fierce perusal. ..and just as they did on the wiressh, they are, if only schlightly, schifting about schiftily. Schee if you can get a shufty of the schlightly sshifty schuffling Schtarlings ! You know it makesch schense. I DO remember hoping that they might win " Bird Photograph of the Year" ... let's face it, they are pretty schtriking.... they would certainly give all the usual ssnnappers a run for their schpondulix ! Hey.. those cranes look a bit like a ladder.... - Leiter in German ..... so here's a song and a jolly story about , er, that ! ... and here's another thing .... in Welsh, the words for "ladder" and "school" are the same.. "ysgol." .... because they are all in the business of making upward progress, and the French " école" is pretty similar, and the Spanish "escuala" ..so there !
