Skywatch Friday - Starling silhouette
Photographing birds is always a challenge. They do not sit still for more than two seconds and then there is always the question of getting the direction of the light right. This picture of a Cape Glossy Starling will never make it into a field guide for birds, but it does make an interesting Skywatch subject, against the blue sky.

Nice capture I spend the whole week looking out for birds here in England. All I see regularly is starlings and seagulls (I live on the coast) I will look out Cape Gossy Starlings in my books. Have a good week. XXX Don
A fun photo.
The silhouette is beautiful Max! I love it.
I actually like "not proper" against the sun captures where the object is dark with perfect contour.
This is a stunning photo! I love the contrast! All the bird photos that I have seem to be mostly water birds. Of course that what I run across most! I love all your photos here!
great clean photo, the composition with just black and blue
Phew - Getaway eat your heart out! Lovely lovely shot.
Fabulous and perfect silhouette!
Yes, and when they land on branches the branches are usually bouncy! What a great silhouette.
Great picture. One always want to get the detail and colours and never thing of the possible silhouette.
If you struggle to get bird pics with your DSLR, imagine me with my prosumer. LOL!
Being a lover of silhouettes (and sky shots)I commend this pic as most agreeable!
He is beautifully composed. I like how his head is facing a different direction from the angle of his feet and the trigs.
nevertheless it is still a gorgeous capture! love this silhouette! :)
Love the silhouette, awesome picture.
Thanks for your comment, my picture was taken in Hankey in the Eastern Cape, in early July. I am from Durban, but my dads family are all in EC.
Now THAt is an interesting shot Max. I really like it very much.
magnificent silhouette. it may not make it into a field guide but that's okay because it made it to your blog for all to enjoy. thanks for sharing.
