Startling Starling
European Starling - Sturnus vulgaris. If we were in a country where this bird was a rarity or a ‘mega’ surely there would be an exodus to view it? In the UK we have them a plenty and tend to take them for granted unless perhaps as part of a murmuration. This individual was from Unst, Shetland last week just after a period of heavy rain…. then how the sun shone, revealing the markings and colour of this beauty. I’ll post some more images of different individuals at same location shortly. Many thanks to those who take the time to view, fave and/or comment on some of my images.
