Looking Up Starlings

A random installation art piece...

These are all taken from inside the building this evening, looking up inside one of the light cones where the Starlings were sunbathing on the warm plastic top and seemingly having fun picking up and dropping little berry seeds from past evacuations to make little rattling sounds to accompany their scratchy feet!

well it made me chuckle at the end of a long day...

oh and some sightings from the last two days too...
