Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty eight metres at 11:33am on Tuesday 9th February 2021, on a cold winter morning with snow blizzards rolling in from the continent of a group of ten Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) fighting for a chance to bath in a stone birdbath off Chessington Avenue in Bexleyheath, Kent.
The common starling or European starling, also known simply as the starling in the British Isles, is a medium-sized passerine bird in the starling family, Sturnidae. It is about 20 cm long and has glossy black plumage with a metallic sheen, which is speckled with white at some times of year.
