Bear with me if this doesn't work out, it has been a while since I have used the forums. Both were taken in Tasmania late 2013. I feel that often the starling is overlooked due to its pest status here in Australia, but with the correct lighting it really is a beautiful bird.
beautiful shots! The starling's colours really are stunning!
Thanks for sharing
I agree, Starlings in the sunlight can look stunning I have a few photos in some they look iridescent green in others they shine blue ,purple , even gold . nice photos .
Nice photos .... good on you for posting the starling pic, very striking bird in its various plummages.
I really like your SFW shot, thats a lovely scene. Always interesting to see the environment as well as the bird.
Lovely photos
I like the composition and the colours of the second photo, it has a very Asian feel about it. Just beautiful

Beautiful shots both of them Amateur ...and so very nice to see you again, I myself have only recently dropped in again. What I love about your shots apart from the gorgeous colours in both birds, is the inclusion of habitat showing how they appeared to you. I think that gives viewers so m uch more insight into the experience than super close bird only or part thereof shots ..... and if I was down in Tasmania I guess I would want to be sharing that part of it for sure.
