New perch (Sternus vulgaris)

Well, I guess it's not all that new really, but before the hedge was cut I didn't really see it.

Then I suddenly realised the birds quite liked landing on it and it's in a good place for me to see it through my feeder window, with a slight adjustment of my seat and the hanging feeders around the window.

So this Starling was the first bird I got a picture of on it!
