    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    That's Ok Babs when I was shooting I thought it was a pied black bird or young crow then when I got home I realised it was a starling

    This could be a trick of the light / sun on his iridescent feathers.#
