Starlings imitating Woodswallows

["John Leonard" <>]

I am beginning to suspect that Starlings are increasingly using gliding and
hawking as a food gathering strategy. From the window at work in a Canberra
'town-centre' I watch the local resident Starlings gliding and hawking over
car-parks all day. Elsewhere I seem to be seeing this behaviour more and
more (I never saw it whilst bird-watching in Britain 20 years ago). It's a
relief when a hawking bird overhead does occasionally resolve into a Dusky
Woodswallow.
Has anyone else noteiced this apparent trend?
