Keith Burton ^club

These images are just delightful Rosa............such beautiful and cheeky looking little birds! I love the eye contact from the one in the main image - it's not begging for food, it's demanding!

All three images are perfectly captured with lovely details! Very well done.

4 years ago.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club

Ha ha, yes you are right Keith, it was demanding and I think would have come right in if the demand had not been met!! Thank you for your kind and funny comments. It was lucky that I hadn't put the camera away!

A brilliant clear shot and a willing subject to pose. I prefer the two PIPS than the head on (My personal choice) but all three perfectly sharp and well taken Rosalyn, Enjoy your Sunday.

A great capture Rosalyn with wonderful details, I very rarely see any nowadays , some years ago thousands used to arrive in Leicester for the Winter thankfully they don't come anymore. A wet wet day I hope yours was a little drier

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Peter Castell ^club

Thinking about it, I don't get many in my garden these days. Maybe they get better pickings at the coast. There were lots of them in Mudeford! Thanks for your kind comments and wish you a good week ahead.

If I'd been there when you were distributing a few crumbs of a cream tea, I'd have shooed the starlings away and joined you to help clear away the remains of scones jam and clotted cream. ;-)))

These pictures bring back very happy memories for me Günter. My brother and I took our uncle out for the day and as we sat in the camper van, eating our lunch, the starling came and perched on the open windows....very cheeky! Sadly my uncle died last year at the age of 93. My last surviving uncle :-(

Thank you very much for your kind comment and wish you a good evening,
Rosa.

Eric Desjours ^club

A starling is not cheeky, Rosa. It is just a starling! And whoever doesn't know them is exposed to their very cumbersome assiduities :-))
Three portraits very nicely done and expressive in relation to the anecdote!

Still looking forward to hearing from you.
With sincere regards.
