Dear folk,

At first I thought this distant bird was a starling, and took little notice, but then it looked somehow different. Autofocus could not cope with all the leaves around, and as I reached for the manual focus switch it flew off. Ah well, such is the lot of bird photographers.

Is it a juvenile starling? The striations/speckles seem too definite a pattern for a starling to me.

Many thanks
