Spotless starling -(Sturnus unicolor)

Spotless starling -(Sturnus unicolor). I photographed this Spotless starling intent on preparing the nest with Nikon D500, Sigma 150-600 Sport, f/5,6, 1/800sec, ISO 250. Thanks for your comments

Nice portrait of this bird. I have not heard of it until now, although it is closely related to the common starling, ciao Sandor

Thank you Sandor for your nice comment. This Sturnus unicolor is widespread in the major islands of the Mediterranean , Sardinia, Sicily and Corsica, southern Spain and North Africa

Very professional, very nice, very attractive! Excellent shot with nice colors and bokeh and great technical quality! Complimenti, maestro! PDE

Beautiful shot, Giangiorgio! This starling poses for you in the process of a very important activity! The bird glistens, maybe it's wet after bathing. Excellent done!, Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Grazie mille Pierre for your generous comment, ciao Giangiorgio

Thanks Tatiana for your nice comment much appreciated. This starling has a particular plumage, it always seems to have just come out of the bath but it is a characteristic of it, ciao Giangiorgio

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

a shiny and glamorous image of this sturnus unicolor, of which I, just like Sandor, have never heard before. The bird resembles the starling well known in western Europe closely, I like the straw in its beak that it wants to use to build its nest. The yellowish background adds to the photo too. Kind regards, Vincent

Thank you Vincent for your appreciated comment. As I have already mentioned in the answer to Sandor this starling is present in the major islands of the Mediterranean, North Africa and Spain, ciao Giangiorgio

Excellent light and details, well captured.

Chris I am glad you liked it, I am grateful for the words you expressed, ciao Giangiorgio
