Hello Ivan
I spent many a happy winters afternoon watching the Starlings, Fieldfares and the occasional Redwing grazing in the Fields around where I live. They truly were a sight.
Your post is superb as your note explains so well a year in thier life and with a crystal clear super picture of this starling in the breeding plumage which I rarely see as the Starling is on the decline and scarce where I live.
A top picture and a top post and Thank you for Sharing this one.
All the Best

I have not heard the term Dutch Elm Disease in many years. As a teenager it became a very big notion in the E US...and killed many a tree. How ironic this bird is nested in one....and a good control of black, a hard colour or not colour to get imaged well without throwing all other things off...Nicely done and some nice thoughtful notes..

Hi Ivan,

I think Starlings have the most beautiful plummage and you show it off perfectly. Wonderful colors with excellent irridescence. Razor sharp details of the face, eye, wings and plummage.

Hi Ivan

Lovely shot of the Starling, its a nice composition with a lovely pose and a fine POV, very good detail and the colours are lovely especially the irridescent colours on the feathers, nice light in the eye too, I always think getting the starlings eye to show up is hard so well done.

Uno degli uccelli più visto in Europa in una bellissima immagine, buona composizione (personalmente avrei tagliato una piccola parte sotto per diminuire la zona sfocata), ottimi dettagli e molto belli i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello Ivan. Interesting note of this starling and we still don't have it here in Malaysia, I think. The capture is excellent and the depth was kept very shallow just exposing the bird to perfection. I like the pattern on the plumage which is striking like black and gold. Good perch against the clear spotless background. Well done Ivan and thanks for sharing this. Best regards, Jusni.

Hi Ivan, this is probably one bird that N. America, Australia and New Zealand could have gladly done without. All that being said though it can be a good looking bird, as you've shown here. This is well composed with a great pose by the bird. The colours are "true" with good sharp detail seen on the bird. A great shot, and very good job of PP.

Thanks, John

I have liked this bird after seeing some of its pictures here on TN recently, Ivan.
It has a lovely shining plumage which makes it one of the most beautiful starlings in the world.
The image of this recent emigrant to Sweden has been very well captured in profile view.
Thanks for sharing it and best regards.

Hi Ivan.
Superb POV and classic composition of the image. Fine bird is reproduced by you perfect with excellent exposure and plenty attractive details. I like the reproduction of the double "ground", blurred and crisp sharp. It is so interesting solution. Lights and colours are excellent.
I'll-be-back.
Alexei.
