Tea time

Whenever I put mealworms in this teacup feeder the gang of starlings don't take long to come down and empty it. Such funny squawky aggressive birds with beautiful markings on their feathers. Taken into Topaz Texture Effects to get rid of the messy background.

They do have beautiful colours in their feathers... almost like oil poured on water. Great shot, and the processing is very discreet and well done.

Such a great capture. Starlings really have beautiful colors, but they are such a nuisance.
