Starling

Just a starling but i surprised myself in getting the focus when there was so much else around to get the camera to focus! He was in the cabbage tree pecking at the flowers and I thought he might be a tui. Couldn't really see with the naked eye so relied on the shot the camera caught.

You did well. We don't see starlings where I live but they do appear in the cities.

Well done, it is so difficult to get it right when they are hiding in trees.

@ludwigsdiana That's why I was so surprised!

[Dianne]

Up close, they have the most remarkable markings. A great shot.

Very impressive clarity on the bird and I love the “through the trees” Composition
