Starling

A bit ironic this one. I have been trying to get an acceptable starling shot for a couple of years - Brighton is fuill of them but they are difficult to photograph. Finally got a shot from indoors!

Well deserved POTW, an uncommon image of a common bird.

Smashing... shows the true irridescence of a starling!

Outstanding picture. Brilliant, (in every respect), colours. Well deserved POTW.

Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories
