Monday at the office - not for me, but maybe for you. If you’re off to an office, I hope you have a good, satisfying day. If you’re working from home, I hope you do, too #urbangaze

Starlings setting off from a tree. They make a huge noise chirping in the tree then suddenly fall completely silent just seconds before taking off together. It’s quite a phenomenon
