These are photos that I have taken over a time period in the Kruger National Park… The next five posts are just going to be my special bird photos… Enjoy…
Glossy Starling …..
What are you looking at?… that’s one hell of a funny eye you’ve got..!!!
I know I should be looking in here somewhere… what am I looking for anyway??
Maybe it’s around this side then…
Ok lets try another flower and see if I can shake this guy off my tail…
No he’s still here looks like I’m going to have to fly.. lets see him get that body in the air…

That one-eye one had me laughing….what a character. funny. Great photos. 🙂
They way he looked at me as if to say “Whaaaaat?” enjoyed it though .. thank you…
Amazings pictures and very difficult to capture! I follow you from now. 🙂
Thank you for the look in and comment, and I am following you…
This was so lovely and so nice… Your photographs talking and he is talking with his eyes too… Fascinated me. You are amazing. Thank you dear Rob, love, nia
He looks as though hes talking but I think he was probably thinking “go away”
I’ve never seen a starling this close … wow! Love your captions. Made me smile …. big!
This one allowed me to get quite close, but then like all things I want to get closer and off it flew…
Super shots BD!!! Funny captions too!!!
Thanks so much, just felt that was what the bird was thinking as this big body crept up on it…
Oh yes, these photos are VERY special. That starling’s plumage is glossy indeed. Love the colours, The blue and yellow really offset one another. As for that beady eye…….. it’s quite unnerving. 😀
Thanks the name glossy go well with him….
Beautiful!
thanks
What a gorgeous color this bird is!
A difficult colour to describe, is it black or blue or purple…?
Looks blue to me! Iridescent blue!
Its that way in the photo and as the sun light changes so does the colour appearance of the bird… in the bird books they say he can go from blue to green to black, but what ever, it has such a beautiful sheen…
Cool – I wonder if he has a big head about it!
He is giving you the “eye” in that first shot! 🙂
That he is, I was surprised he hung around long enough for me to make the captures…
Amazing work again BD ! Looks like he is playing peek-a-boo!! 🙂
Peek a boo is the right words, he was keen to get the nectar but was wary of my nearing approach…
