Description

It's b'day time again :o) The b'day boy is a master in photography admired by so many RR members. Danny ~aka~ danob Happy Birthday, my friend! All the best to you! May you have the best b'day ever! *cheers* *hugest b'day hugz* Pondered a while on what to post for him. Finally I thought of a bird shot because Danny has posted some fantastic birdies lately. Of course my bird shot cannot compare with his shots... mine is really humbled *sigh* Have taken this shot in the beginning March. This bird is a European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) in its non-breeding plumage Description: Stocky, black bird. Short, square-tipped tail. Pointed, triangular wings. Long pointed bill, yellow in breeding season. Shimmering green and purple feathers in spring. Size: 20-23 cm (8-9 in) Wingspan: 31-40 cm (12-16 in) Weight: 60-96 g (2.12-3.39 ounces) Special thanks to Jeroen for telling me the name of this birdie and giving me the info! Ty4v&c Thank you for your nice comments and rankings on my previous upload painted by nature I really apreciate your words.
