The Superb Starling, native to East Africa, stands out amongst its avian counterparts with its resplendent plumage. Its feathers shimmer with a glossy combination of iridescent blues, purples, and greens, forming a tapestry of vibrant hues that seem almost too perfect to be real. The metallic sheen on its back is a captivating sight, contrasting beautifully against its striking black head and chest.

Found in various habitats across Kenya, from savannas to woodlands, the Superb Starling is a social species that thrives in small flocks. Its melodious song fills the air, creating a symphony of sounds that harmonizes with the rhythm of the African wilderness. These birds are known for their agility and aerial acrobatics, darting effortlessly through the skies, adding a touch of dynamism to their already captivating presence.

As an important member of the East African ecosystem, the Superb Starling plays a vital role in seed dispersal and insect control, making it a key player in maintaining the delicate balance of nature.

Thema der Woche bei "Looking close on Friday! In a Row & on a Mirror,

Street Photography in San Diego, CA. This accordion player was in front of one of the local restaurants in the gaslamp district of San Diego.

It was his beautiful orange jumper which caught my eye. I pointed to my camera and he nodded yes.

Only afterwards did I realise this was Marvin who is already in my Human Family project. I did not stop to talk as on my previous encounter Marvin told me busking is an essential part of his income. He also teaches guitar.

I noted he was offering for sale his CDs, also copies of his book: Diary of a Busker which he has been keeping online for more than 10 years now.
