Contented starling

Our neighbor’s suet feeder continues to be a popular place. I don’t know how I managed to get this thru all the leaves that now surround it.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/400s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso800 full exif

Excellent! Though I am not fond of Starlings, non-native species who devour the food of native birds, I do have to say they are beautiful.

Starling excellence and a happy one with a beak full of suet.
Perched perfectly to your portrait.
Excellent resolution and bokeh.
