Nesting

I sat watching this starling for a while.  He'd arrive with a beak full of nesting material, land on the top of this post, look around and then disappear.  A while later he'd reappear on the post, look around again then fly off.

It did take me a couple of visits from him to realise that he wasn't flying away off the back of the post somehow. When I got up for a closer look I realised that the centre of the post is hollow and this chap (or lady) is making the most of the secluded spot.  I hope it drains well when it rains! 

Aren't they gorgeous in their breeding colours?!
