I know so common but they still have a magnificence of their own a visit to Pagham W Sussex yesterday in brilliant sunshine I can't leave the harsh light alone. I was working on waders and just switched to a closer subject. Environment large in full frame but little wonder.

Thanks for looking.
A good shot of a beautiful bird Barry. Looks pin sharp on my works screen so you seem to have mastered that huge lens combo. Nice catchlight in the eye. Lots of enviro but then that is exactly the sort of place where I would expect to see a starling.

Nice one Barry! If you want to get some close ups, you can hand feed them at the cafe at Stonehenge where a macro lens might be most appropriate.

Lovely shot, shame about the distracting branches. And nice to see someone form this forum photographing my local patch
