sturnus vulgaris

Test shot with E-620, ISO 500

and more n more......

Oh I've got loads of these images......

Inundated with Starlings at the moment and don't they just amuse us all with there antics when a lot try to feed, these birds can keep me amused for ages (easily pleased) and what a racket when they do get together

While waiting for the cousins to arrive for today's hike, I heard this starling calling from a rohan tree. After chirping hoarsly (his beak was full, after all) for a bit, he moved gradually closer, then flew to the far side of a tree very near me, fluttered briefly and flew away - beak now...

This starling seems to be a good provider, but I'm glad I'm not among those he feeds.

Took a walk in the park between a PhD viva and the celebratory dinner. I hope the menu won't be quite like this family meal.

so this young starling sat down on the job and only got up when parents came to feed

its non stop for the parents at the mo

Regular supply of Starlings in the birdbath, don't they just love it.

A bunch of noisy Starlings emerged today and made quite a racket waiting to be fed

Starling on a Yew tree in my back garden.

A different shot to the one I posted last week but a similar outcome, stunning colours when in full sunlight

I have not adjusted the colour on this image at all, I have sharpened it a tad and reduced the highlights but the colour is naturally created in the sunlight. Shame the bird was on a feeder and not a perch as it would have looked stunning

Love these birds as they are always genuine characters

Hi Folks Photographed this Spring male European Starling in our garden yesterday. Best regards Uncle Gus

Spotted this Starling this morning on the perch and each exhale was very visible, manged to get this one just as it appeared

I found only two great tits from the forest today. So I will continue with newly processed oldies. Some have been in BF some have not.
