Bit of a looker

Another bird... this one is from my recent trip to London Zoo and I believe it revels with the name 'Purple Headed Glossy Starling". Quite a handsome fellow. Taken with the DA* 200 on my K-7.

Lovely shot very well taken...
The birds name sounds like a hit from the 60s

All the best

I hate black starlings, but this one's rather nice.
