Starlings (Juvenile) Some people do not realise how cute the juvenile starlings are, they are of course beautiful adults as well. When I was growing up in the 70s there were many starlings everywhere but over the years they seemed to be fewer in numbers. Of late I have noticed more, hopefully the Starling is making a recovery.

    On the highway I drive to work, a few times per year giant swarms circle the area, really impressive. Sadly though, I have never photographed one up close. Anyway, great capture, promoted! Posted 11 years ago
