Startled Starlings

A female Merlin flew straight through the Starling display this
evening which, as you might imagine, upset the Starlings quite a lot!
Not sure if the Merlin stuck around, or succeeded in catching any
unlucky prey, but the Starlings continued to fly in an alarmed fashion
for a while longer, after the Merlin had sped through.
