Well, there seems to be no trees there, so the starlings are sitting on the power lines because no choice.

- smcl 4y agoThere aren't any trees in that particular field, but Airth isn't exactly in a barren treeless wasteland - there are pockets of woodland around the village: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Airth,+Falkirk,+UK/@56.0671489,-3.7832391,6786m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x48887ea5122c17c7:0x4bb0e924509f9f2c!8m2!3d56.069301!4d-3.770963 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Airth,+Falkirk,+UK/@56.067...
- henearkr 4y agoRight, fair enough, but if there were trees regularly everywhere, there would be no huge tree-less (but powerline-ful) area, and between a weird chair-powerline and a nice chair-tree, I guess the choice is easy for a bird. I mean, if there were _neither_ any power lines, the starlings would certainly sit a bit further, but there _are_ powerlines (i.e. chairs), so here they are. (did you notice, I'm trying to think bird)

- smcl 4y agoI did! Good job. But for me the weird thing is that it’s a pretty typical landscape outside the cities in the Scottish central belt so it’s weird this has just happened here
