Starlings in the sky of Rome


It was a bright November evening in Rome  in 2015. Me and my wife were sitting with couple of friends on a restaurant terrace in Trastevere. We all were a little bit tired 'cause we had gone sightseeing  all day long. That's why we decided to stay on a restaurant terrace to have pizza and a bottle of beer.

And what happened then?

Suddenly we heard sound like the rain shower from the roof of the terrace.

But there weren't the clouds in the sky and it wasn't the rain shower.

There was an enormous flock of starlings.

And the rain-like sound from the roof was caused by starlings' droppings.

Because of the droppings the starlings are considered as adverse animals in Mediterranean countries.
