A Garden Alive with Birds & Sunshine - the Starling is the Star of the Show!!! (Original Photos, Donegal, Ireland)

This starling shows off his magnificent dark speckled coat, revealing a green and purple sheen when the light catches.  What a beautiful creature he is!  


Keeping us company the whole year round - and in winter particularly huge roosts are a spectacular sight.  They sit in the trees or on the wires and roofs, chattering, chattering, and then suddenly - silence.  Settled for the night!  In summer they are often seen alone or in smaller groups, which can make photographs a little easier if you can tempt them closer with some tasty treats!  The birds were eating seeds, and I was eating seeds too.  A birdy picnic on a summers day... what joy, truly!!!  














All photos taken with my Fujifilm Finepix S800.

Without a doubt, it is a beautiful bird, with that plumage that poses in the radiant solar rays, in the trees, posts! I love the pictures in their different pranks in their freedom to be where it provokes them .. Greetings friend @woman-onthe-wing

Many thanks @andrina! I feel affinity with birds and love to think of them gliding through the air and looking down upon the land... They are all so beautiful and unique, even the 'ugly' ones with harsh calls I love!

Gorgeous photography @woman-onthe-wing.
The birds are so beautiful.

Thank you Jo! Bird watching sure is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon! :-)

Beautiful animals!

They are indeed! :-)

@woman-onthe-wing! I'm desperately trying to connect to steemit.chat since a week or so, but the site is always down :-( How may I reach out to you? Are you on discord?

Hello there, I can't get onto Chat either the last week... I wonder what's going on? Yes, I'm on discord, I'm not so familiar with that site though and know someone else had trouble finding me! I think I'm in the 'whaleshares' group if that helps locate me! If you have problems, I'm also on Facebook as Natural Health Mama, and you can message me there :-)

howdy @woman-onthe-wing! remarkable photographs, I especially like the one with the cat watching! God bless you guys over there!

Thank you @janton! Yes, the one with my little cat is favourite too!
