    Great shots Carlos , from a distance their feathers look quite plain but when you get closer they are very colourful . We have a lot in our garden and man do they squawk a lot they always seem to be arguing with each other 😀 The Scots language name for starlings is Stuckie and was my cousins nickname at school { starling/Stirling }

    My bird shooting experience is negligible but since getting my OM-1 I am tempted with a longer lens to give it a go

    Many thanks Jim! Appreciated :-) Yes, they might have a plain looking dress at times. I love how they strut around in the grass at times, hunting for food, very intense :-)

    Nice results. Inquiring minds want to know what lens was used! I am guessing it was an adapted lens but ....

    Interesting shots of typically disregarded birds. I'm also curious about the 700mm f/8 lens used.

    No, not the adapted telescope, but the oly 150-400 with 1.25tc as well as the 1.4tc.
