Gleaming (Sturnus vulgaris)

Back at home the Starlings were developing their summer plumage, and the light caught this one so nicely.

Down below my window this one, so a bit of leaning out required.

I just wish they'd teach their youngsters some table manners before they leave the nest!;)

I think the only "manners" Starlings teach their kids is "better outside than in" ;)
Still, they do shine :D

I second the table manners
comment D. It's survival
of the fattest, as far as
those hooligans are concerned.
As far as leaning out of your window
is concerned -- be careful! We
don't want to lose you, even
for the sake of photographs as
fine as this one.
Top notch.
