Unhappy

One very miserable starling waiting for me to top up the bird table so it can fight with about a dozen others on the foot square surface!

Very good shots

Beautiful. I never saw one like that before.

These are good. I really like these guys. We have hundreds around here, just nowhere for me to perch on to get to their level and they dont come down much out of the power lines.

I tried a little edit of the second. A simple levels and curves adjustment tones up the photo nicely..especially where some over-dodging happened in the eye.

That looks nice - I just did a quick go through in Lightroom and posted. You should have seen the crowd of starlings on the table this morning - 13-14 per sq ft and others waiting above whilst a few more gathering up the scattered food on the ground.
Thanks for taking the time on my image - you can see why I always permit editing.

I just love starlings. I think the way they glisten green and purple with all those specks of yellow are just beautiful. A tad hard to shoot in strong light from the sun, though, because of this. Overcast days are good for starlings, Ive found. You did very well here. :thumbsup:
