E n one of my first entries, more than a year ago, I showed sparrow white feathers on one wing and said he had controlled a starling with a white tail that was not able to shoot decently. I can show you today.
Not that these photos are good, but worth to document the presence of this curious animal. 
park almost every day outside the house where the nest entrance, between a beam and the external wall. The house was half built and birds are relatively quiet. From a safe distance, imposed by the plot itself, I can see the bustle of comings and goings of birds bringing food to their children. If you do not go for a walk, as there hope for my daughter out of school for about 20 to 25 minutes, I can pursue to control the frequency of entries. 
singular bird discovered in 2007 and then in 2008 I saw her nesting in the same place. In contrast, in 2009 the nest was occupied by a pair of normal-colored starlings and, indeed, as I witnessed was plundered by a magpie.

This year has returned to occupy the "chub" of white glue. But why say starling? I suppose it is a female because in 2008, which was the best year I could see it, I checked the number of courtship feeding which made the two partners and while the white-tailed entered the nest every four minutes on average , copy "male? normal coloring it would be every 15-20 minutes at least. However, bad luck, was the only one who got a decent photograph, this is the next photo.
Now go back raising the white-tailed starling, but I have not seen his partner. I do not know if you ignore your children, if has died or if I have not been watching the nest long enough. Sometimes it's amazing how little it takes to restore after a prime, just two minutes. Guess is that when it encounters an abundant source of food nearby. Because it is so easy to spot, I have to see it recognized on the lawn of a garden just 200 meters, looking for worms, and also in a corner of another garden of the same estate where they put food for stray cats at the top of the wall . Large numbers of birds taking advantage of the situation, especially crows, blackbirds and, of course, the starlings.
The scientific name is black starlings Sturnus unicolor, but it does not live up to its name, but rather would be a "Sturnus bicolor."
