A Noisy yet Beautiful Bird

Another bird that hasn't visited my set up until recently is the Starling. A common (and noisy) bird it is often ignored in favour of other, more glamorous, species. But look at it closely and you can see it is actually a beautiful bird with iridescent feathers that glow in a multitude of colours when caught by the sunlight.

It is also a bird that makes me thankful for the zoom nature of the 100-400 mm lens, when photographing birds that could otherwise be the size of a Coal Tit.
