Yes
I know Starlings are not exactly rare or even taken notice of too much but I just love the colours in these birds. We have a gang of them that visit as do probably every poster on here but I don't see any posts of them :shrug:

Well anyway hope you like it

Funny you should mention that as I had a Sparrow Hawk in my apple tree about a month ago. This morning was the usual suspects and I'm trying to get as close as I can. The Blackbird is within 3ft of my tempting mealworms but holds out as he knows my arm will ache in the end and I put the pot down he then dives in :) The Robin is sort of getting braver and will fly in and take a mealworm if I'm about 10ft back and We also have a Dunnock that is even harder to get close too but I'm working on it. While the Blackbird was filling his belly (crop) one of the Bovva Boi Starlings flew down withing a few feet of me too. Am i too easily pleased :LOL:

Thanks Carol I appreciate your comments (y) I think I agree with you on the choice. I seem to be getting closer and closer on these birds and only stand out in the yard playing statues, not a hide in sight :)

Thanks for taking the time to comment Lance, I didn't play with the colours on these only the normal sharpening, contrast and levels, so I'm very happy as to how these ones turned out :)
 
Nice and sharp these John (y) The first shows off all the beautiful colours these birds have.
