Hi there,

had a rest for a while (did some photo processing) and decided it was a nice arvo for a local drive. Came across some common starlings having a scratch/preen. As much as they are feral here and would prefer to see our native birds, a startling in breeding dress, in full sun is a sight to behold.

Here are a couple of shots.

Comments and critacism welcome as always.

Regards Darren

Thanks for posting these shots of the starlings in breeding plumage....I didnt realise they are feral (I guess because I cant imagine what domestic use they would have been ) Great shots, the first being my favourite.
