Olli -Mighty Mod-  More info | Sep 29, 2008 16:09 | #1 This pale-winged starling in Namibia's Fish River valley (the second largest canyon in the world) was very used to tourists visiting the grand view point, but before I got a close-up of the eye, it decided to take off.

The third one is actually one of my favorites. kenn3d wrote in post #6406567 Hi Olli, The first two are striking... what an eye he has! Too bad he took off before you could get closer, but are his wing tips really as "pale" as they appear in the third shot? It would seem we missed seeing 4 and 5 maybe ... or? Anyway, that's a very interesting looking bird. Thanks for showing him here. Kenn Thaks Kenn. Yes, the wing tips are really pale and visible only when he's flying. Here My Instagrams

Pleased to get your comment and feedback. Thanks a lot, folks. paulhillion wrote in post #6410817 This was such a great day! All wonderful shots but for me the one with the Starling looking out over the canyon surveying his kingdom is a real winner, absolutely cracking shot mate!! I only wish I'd thought of it These are the words of my mentor! My Instagrams
