Birds > Passerine > Spotless Starling Sturnus unicolor

info

All these photos of the spotless starling were taken in Spain. Taking a break while exhausting being on the watch in the poultry lookouts (whole day) for the rest we were offered "easier" subjects. Kestrels and storks were supposed to be such species easier for shooting. On the high tower, probably some old granary, kestrels, storks and presented spotless starlings had their nests. There were several couples of starlings and they operated safely with a pair of kestrels side by side. Because that was supposed to be a day of rest, we got up a little later. Thus the gentle morning light already had gone. Too bad, because it was much more difficult to expose in this light the gloss black plumage of spotless starling, however, several pictures were taken and published. From a distance, watching the herd behavior and shape of these starlings it is hard to distinguish and you may be convinced that this is just a starling.
