2018 02 01_Greater Blue-eared Starling-1

            Although Greater Blue-eared Starlings are a fairly common sight around the restcamps of the Kruger National Park, they are nonetheless remarkably handsome, especially when the sunlight catches their glossy plumage. This one was busy feeding younsters secreted away down inside a broken tree stump, at Lower Sabie Restcamp.
Best viewed large.
Thank you for any comments or faves - they are very much appreciated.
