I got the point(s)

Sorry, but this one was better than the intended one; as a swift squint at Extra #1, (which I took to illustrate how, relatively, small it was), will reveal.  The critter was so young it hadn't gone blunt so I couldn't lift it up - like this
It being "Jerraday" we sat and pulled the world to bits and did the customary wander, point, click and up until Hog o'clock the "Half-waxed" Starling was going to be "it".  This particular little critter, instead of eating it there and then "stuffed its gob" and took off into the depths of the Albertine rose to scoff it.  Maybe didn't like eating in public?
Quite amazing the change in a young Starling; in extreme youth they're all just a brownish bird, until, at a point, slightly later than this they look like almost another species with the same brown body but a resplendent Waistcoat of black with white Polka-dots. They then magically, almost un-noticed, morph into adulthood.
I remembered YONKS ago in an earlier life as a school lab tech I was a translator - Sprogspeak translated to adult. 
Example Cocernete = Concrete.
My oppo said they'd seen a kid's essay on things seen on holiday:-
One of them had, apparently, seen an Eg Og.  Evidently the child spoke with dropped "H"s.
