Great shot, I had to look twice to be sure the starling didn’t fly into a mirror

That's an excellent capture. We need to look for a contest you can put it in somewhere.
Your perseverance is starting to pay off.

When the action is occurring its a blur. Reminds me of cartoons when a cat and dog are fighting/ rumbling in a cloud of dust. I never realised they fought in such a manner while in flight. I have a differen t video of these same type of birds fighting/wrestling and rolling on the ground
