[john starkey]

Hi all,i had been in the garden taking some picture,s of a spider web with hundred,s of baby spider,s in when the wife said John a starling just landed on the basket feeder,to my amazement this starling let me get really close,so i fired off two quick shot,s hand held before it flew off,the light wasn,t very good but i was so thrilled to get so close,excuse the temporary pole i am making a wooden one.

thanks for looking
John.
