Feathered Choir on a Power Pylon - Starlings Strike a Pose!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Terry Whittaker, we witness the mesmerizing sight of a flock of Common Starlings perched upon a towering power pylon at Rainham Marsh RSPB Reserve. These avian acrobats have chosen an unconventional stage to showcase their synchronized roosting routine. As if rehearsing for an avian symphony, these starlings create a stunning visual spectacle against the backdrop of Essex's Thames Futurescapes Project. Their sleek black feathers glisten in the January sunlight, while their vibrant beady eyes seem to hold secrets only nature can comprehend. But did you know that starlings possess more than just good looks? In an intriguing twist, history reveals that even Mozart himself was captivated by these feathered wonders. The legendary composer had a pet starling that could mimic part of his Piano Concerto no. 17! It seems these birds not only excel in aerial displays but also possess musical talents! So next time you stumble upon this enchanting print from Nature Picture Library, take a moment to appreciate the beauty and harmony found within our natural world. Let it serve as a reminder that even amidst metal giants like power pylons, nature finds its way to bring joy and wonder into our lives through unexpected encounters with creatures like the Common Starling.
