A Brahminy Starling with food for its nest
A Brahminy Starling with food for its nest

A common beautiful starling found in our region pretty much everywhere in the countryside during all the seasons. They are social birds and always seen in flocks often on trees, sometimes foraging on the ground or chasing each other. These, along with Myna and Pied Starlings are a regular sighting in all the seasons.

Shot this bird on a tall checkdam next to a reservoir. The bird hunted some insects and was waiting to head to its nest. I suppose the nest is close to the other side (no water side) of the dam. I believe the nest could be in the dam wall which had some small holes in it. It didn't want us to where the nest is, so it waited for a brief time and then headed into its nest.

Thanks in advance for all your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
