We were having lunch in Masai Mara, taking a break from '000s of photos of recent lion kill at Masai Mara when I spotted a pair of these starlings perching in a distance. Quickly grabbed the camera and fired away a few shots. Though I would have loved to photograph these under overcast situation, but I think strong midday sun is still helping bring out the glossy colour!

Lovely bird. Numerous in the Mara area.

...the bird flies away. A little fish or worm is all it eats for a meal?
