A starling on Seaford Head - 10.3.2016

I think that this is a Starling. It doesn't exhibit the iridescence that Starlings usually do, but its feathers may be a bit fluffed up to keep it warm and the contrast with the white cliffs may make the shiny plumage hard to see. I cannot think of any other black birds with such sharp beaks. There are Jackdaws living on the cliffs, but they are larger with wedge shaped beaks.
