Here's another shot from the back garden today. Starlings are one of the most common and often overlooked birds around here. Seen up close they have beautiful markings and when the whole family flies in at the same time you're guaranteed a free comedy show as they fight and squabble over the food even though there's plenty for everyone!

Comments welcome,

An excellent job on a difficult to shoot bird. We have them in abundance, but have yet to capture one.

I like this shot----such a colorful bird, almost dressed like a clown, or maybe Elvis!

Wow! that's amazing. An over looked bird in my books. Beautiful capture.
