Beautiful pictures Alan, those starlings can indeed have "Superb" colours - most have this metallic shine on large parts of their plumage - captured very well in your first shot!

Andy - you have hit my weak spot. I love beeeaters.We don't get them in the UK and I always try to hunt them down when travelling.

I agree with Mikehit, he looks a bit grumpy.

Very nice shot, Andy.

Alan, our beeeaters are living in a partly "open" enclosure in the Frankfurt Zoo. Here is a link: Vogelbüsche

Your immigrant is more handsome than the local Kuala Lumpur one I shot on Sunday. Here is their Victoria Crowned Pigeon for the record.

Which reminds me of the Maroonbreastedcrown Pigeon I took two years ago, which is very handsome,
