And the one sat in a very unusual position between two bodyguards :) It was a Fork-tailed Drongo (Dicrurus adsimillis), and you will see his bodyguards in the picture below. I heard the strange calls and

I will also show you how and what they eat. They were diving down to a palm tree. We had to go and refill our empty gas bottle and, on the way back, we stopped at a traffic light. It was not the first

While waiting for the berries to ripen, they pull many stunts in the neighborhood. Not ready yet, not ready yet !, she shouted to her fan club. The starlings are hungry, as flocks of them have depleted

Red-winged Starlings, and they checked on the progress of the berries. No doubt that they will report back to the bigger flock about the berry status. Last season, we had more than 50 starlings that landed

...in a different location, and also different birds. This male Starling doesn't believe in the ladies first rule:) We sat for some coffee at an open-air coffee house, and suddenly a pair of Red-winged

So many people are scared of the Red-Winged Starling birds. Yes, the starlings are wild and desperate to get food for their young during the breeding period. The Red-winged Starlings (Onychognathus nabouroup)

What an occasion, as the starlings were close to us at a nursery. They must have flown up and down at least 30 times, and I have 10 times in here. We sat at a table to have some coffee at the nursery,

...and whenever they gather like this, then there is food. But not the food that you will think, as in this case it was Flying Ants. Have you ever seen birds eating flying ants? If not, you will see, in

...and it's amazing what they will do to get some food. These are not tame Starling birds, but they are not scared to take chances. The red-winged starling (Onychognathus morio) is a bird of the starling

We discovered that they like the berries in a tree here. They struck with military discipline, by coming in in batches. Never seen this before, as the Red-winged Starlings (Onychognathus morio) knew that

The Peregrine Falcon can dive down at speeds of +350km on its prey. I heard a rowdy crowd of Starlings up in a high tree, so I popped around to go and see what upset them. It was a light and dark day as

some beautiful starlings

Starling. They are lovely birds. You can hold a baby starling on your hand and love all day. Starlings are my favorite animals. I love them. This cutie dropped from roof where it was their nest due to

We can often walk around in nature with an unseeing eye. Sort of just a cursory glance at everything with the thought that it's all beautiful. But there are so much more to be seen in nature. Come and

Прогулюючись вулицею села, я побачила дуже цікаві опудала за високим парканом. Вони час від часу ще й оберталися навколо своєї осі, що і привернуло мою увагу. Видно, вісь опудала якимось чином була закріплена

Якась затяжна цього року весна. І занадто мокра, як на мене. Часті дощі та стабільний холод не дають тих умов, щоб на грядках щось посіяне активно сходило і зростало. Ось, наприклад, зимовий часник. Виріс-то

Хмарні дощові та холодні дні ніяк не хочуть відступити. Сонця зовсім мало, воно наче ховається, щоб не розтратити запас тепла і не замерзнути холодною зимою. Нічого дивного: увесь світ через російську

To only sit still and to wait for the magic appearances to start. Out of nowhere the little Cape White-eye (Zosterops virens), appeared to pick up a crumb on the table. It always happens at this coffee

She bought a takeaway meal and just finished eating when lover boy arrived. There was a park opposite the shopping center and I was sitting in the car. Let's watch a pair of Pied Crows (Corvus albus) playing

I saw the tree from afar and it had strange fruits on it. So I switched my camera to the super zoom and they were not fruits, but rather Starlings. Rainy weather does not make for easy camera shots, but
