My best shots of the Starlings were of the ones feeding on berries in a Whitebeam tree. The sun was right on the tree, lighting up all those bright red berries and green and yellow foliage, and often the birds were perched out in the clear working a cluster of berries in full view.

I'm sure there must have been an easier way for him to get at the berries LOL.

Another great image and, as you say, great lighting as well Ann.
