A Starling by maggiemae

A Starling

Rather nice name for an annoying bird. He does have a fancy coat too- a coat of many colours. This one is staring at an empty plate with a bit of pique. What I put out is all gone!
Pleased about:
Learning how to get out of a chair easily - you bend over until your weight is just over your feet then just stand up. Works sitting down too without the usual plonk!
Now I do like this Maggiemae. You show off all the colour and shine of this patterned bird. We used to see them all the time in the garden when I was growing up, but not so much now.

Beautiful warm tones to your photo and fantastic Detail and Composition.

I had to give your newfound skills a try and it works

@grammyn Works for me too but not for John - his leg muscles are not too strong.

@helenhall they scrabble around and get in the roof under the eaves and then never go away!

@maggiemae that is not so good at all! Sorry to hear they are a pest.

Love the lighting what a lovely shot. We don't see starlings here where I live but I do see them in the cities.

Beautifully caught against the background. Starlings are incredibly colourful when you get close to them, They are also noisy! We had one sit only a few feet from us. It would not keep quiet - chattering and whistling to itself. Quite lovely.

@bill_gk Yes, that's a good description of their voice, Bill. Chattering and whistling!

Great shot

starlings do look rather nondescript until you see what their coat actually looks like. I have never thought of their name actually - could be lots of starts on their chests!
