Hi Eldar.
You are lucky to have so many colourful birds to photograph and you are doing a great job of capturing their beauty.

Hi Jack.
Do your Starlings not have the same iridescent plumage as ours, they look dirty brown until the light is right.

Cheers, Graham.

I don´t know about lucky, since I had to travel all the way to Tanzania to find them

Here´s a Grey-headed kingfisher from Tarangire in Tanzania.

We might say even that's still lucky.
