User's notes

This is about half the flock. The starlings seem to slide down the pipe to get up speed for flying but it may just have been playtime.

These are Common Starlings, which is not coming up in the taxonomy for some reason (I think there seems to be a bug).

Very good, I thought it was just me missing the link somewhere. Hope you can have it fixed.
