I was very lucky to take this picture because the starling wasn't scared at all, so I could get very close to it. Hope you like it.
Some information abaut this species:
Starling - Sturnus Vulgaris
Identification - Starlings have mainly black bodies and yellow bills like Blackbirds but they are smaller and fatter with more pointed heads and longer, more pointed wings. Their plumage is always speckled although in summer the markings on the breast are replaced by iridescent tones of green and blue. Juveniles start off as plain brown with a black bill and characteristic shape.
Habitat - Breeds in towns, woods, parks, and on farms. Winters in cities, gardens and farmland.
