Just an old Starling but a real beauty in the bird world.

Good one.
I think the wing out to the left asks for a teeny bit more space on the right of the bird but no big deal. It just seems a bit too far right.
The adults are georgeous, but I have about 50 coming down to my pool in the stoney field but they're all juveniles ! Not quite the same ! :frown:

that is a really nice image Dale. I really like the pose, the light, the perch, all of it. Maybe a tiny bit more room on the right, but perfect otherwise.

Hi Dale

another super shot with great detail and superb lighting :toast:

Maybe a touch more room on the right and the end of the perch niggles a bit unless its totally natural and then fair enough. :wink:
