I got so excited this morning I thought I had a new bird. This chap was in my 'tree of life' and the brilliant blue caught my attention. I haven't had a new bird for ages so 'ran' after a fashion to get my camera. It is not a new bird just a Starling with the sun on him but it was worth taking a pict of him.
