WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY - Cape Glossy Starling

These birds are Cape Glossy Starlings that I saw in 
Kruger National Park South Africa.


25 cm length; 65–112 g weight

    He seems to be demanding an explanation. I was ready to confess. Very nice captures.

    What a beautiful shade of blue the feathers are Margaret. In the 2nd photo he/she seems to have an angry look in it's eye. Maybe it expected a fee for the photo shoot???

    I have never seen a starling that color blue before. Interesting. Love your second photo with the determined looking bird.
