Starling
Hello

One from this evening, although "only" a common starling these birds have a certain character about them. There is a flock of 20 or so that regularly raid my garden feeders :mad: and each one has a different character, (although they are all dead greedy!).This one perched on my fence watching the area.

Tripod, and Gimbal head

cheers for looking

Nicely done Colin,

The summery green sheen well recorded, and a fine typical view of this chap :toast:
