I've used PS a bit here to bring out the lovely colours in the feathers of the starling that you can hardly see in natural light as they are quite dark. Hope you like it.

Great shot. I can't decide if I like Starlings, sometimes they look quite stunning, other times I think they look evil! LOL.

Great photo, I have never managed to photograph one:-( They ahve amazing colours depending on how the light catches them and you can see that here.

I have a dozen exposures that are nothing but dark smudges before I got this one. It's not as sharp as I would have hoped but you can't have everything.:confused:

Good shot. Its surprising how much colour some birds have when you take a closer look.

I love starlings. Loads of fledglings in the garden atm. Nice shot but I would crop it to portrait for greater effect.
