[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Overall, the European Starling is listed by the IUCN as being a species of least concern.[24] However, it has been adversely affected in northern Europe by intensive agriculture, and in several countries, it has been red-listed due to declines of more than 50%. In the United Kingdom, it declined by more than 80% between 1966 and 2004; although populations in some areas—such as Northern Ireland—are stable or even increasing, those in other areas—mainly in England—declined even more sharply. The overall decline has been attributed to a loss of food-rich permanent pasture, leading to the low survival rates of young birds.[25] Major declines have also been observed from 1980 onward in Sweden, Finland, northern Russia (Karelia), and the Baltic States, and smaller declines in much of the rest of northern and central Europe.[2] In contrast, there have been increases in southern Europe, particularly in Italy, southern France, and northeastern Spain where the species first began breeding in the 1960s.[2]

Buna din nou,

Un subiect surprins foarte frumos, cu un contrast bun si
detalii bogate. Incadrarea este buna, dar mare grija la
prelucrare. In cazul de fata apare un halo in jurul pasarii
care o scoate din fotografie, si deranjeaza destul de mult.

Numai bine si cadre reusite...
Cris

Dominas todas las temáticas Szabo jeje. tanto aves como insectos.
Excelente luz ya que nos permite ver las negras tonalidades debajo de la cabeza, tan difíciles de captar. Buena pose del ave.

Hello Jozsef,
A very fine close-up of this female Starling in summer plumage. The POV and pose are excellent and captured with excellent sharpness, colurs and lighting against a fine blue sky in this almost frame-filling portrait.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan
