Those cheeky rotten birds
Sometimes it's hard to choose what to post here. Birds of prey are spectacular, and when you see them (me) my fingers start to burn to pull the trigger as quickly as possible, preferably in machine gun mode with at least 10 frames per second (it can't do more than that BTW). Last week I got a number of them in my viewfinder and captured them.
But the photo I am posting now, I have it for a while. I often forget that I have it, but every time I see it again, I fall out of my chair. So much beauty!
It is (just) an ordinary starling, my mother really hated them at the time (those cheeky rotten birds), gobbling up in no time the winter food for all those nice great tits, robins and bullfinches, leaving the wrens looking dazed. They were ugly as well, that black with all those speckles, like a chocolate sandwich with white mice.
But in their spring dress with the right light on them, they are of almost unsurpassed beauty with all the colors of the rainbow.
