Had it been a GBH instead of the sandy, then the starling would have ended up somewhere else. What a great and unique sequence, Louie!
Joshua
Thanks Joshua, yes this is the first time I've ever seen a SH Crane take after a small bird, but I am told that they will and will eat them as well.

Thanks Rex.
Knowing how pesky those Blackbirds can be your first shot says it all. Almost as if the Crane is saying, "that's it, you're out of here". Fantastic catch Louie !
