Unfortunately I don't have time neither a decent place to go herping around London and I'm in a very bad mood lately! :? However, here is a good place for birdwatching and that's what saves me! Aparently, my girlfriend almost always spots the most interesting stuff, so here are two things she saw and I photographed!

A Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) with rat prey! It was very interesting to observe him feeding! :)

...and an unusual sight - white Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)!

Could it be a Rosy Starling juvenile? ( http://www.birdpix.nl/album_page.php?pic_id=82824 ) :?:

No,no there were a hole flock of them and that was the only one white! Besides it was adult and really, really snow white..not brownish like the juvenile!
