Brahminy Starlings

The monsoon has not been very kind to me birding wise. These are some of the very few I could make with the 550D.
Thanks for viewing, please excuse the noise.

Nice shots, very sharp with the cobweb in the 1st photo! Are these a North Indian species? I didn't see them when I was in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka last month (of course I could have easily missed them). What lens were they taken with?

I really like these images. The rusty barbed wire perch seems to add to the appeal.

Thank you SJC. Thanks Scrumhalf, they are spreaded all over India I believe. The lens is a 400/5.6.

Those are cool looking starlings! Wonder if they are as noisy as ours

Very good shots. I'd never have guessed that these were Starlings! Totally different looking to the Starlings I see in the UK.

Thank Flo and 2slo, there are other species noisier them where I usually go. Quite a few starlings species here actually, locally called mynahs.
BTW, I was expecting you both to comment. If I remember correctly you guys love starlings.

No need to apologise, these are lovely shots, be proud!

The first one made be chuckle a bit, the bird looks rather startled with the hair up on spikes!

Nothing wrong with these, just shows you can get great pictures with the 550
