The common starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) are useful, mainly in spring, because they consume a large amount of harmful insects as demonstrated by the photo. They, however, can eat and damage fruit in orchards such as grapes, peaches, olives or dig up newly sown grain and sprouting crops as well, because of which they are considered pests.in many countries

A great catch for both, the iridescent plumage of this starling is very beautiful, ciao Giangiorgio

Wonderful shot, Sandor! The starling seems to be holding several insects in its beak. Well captured! Bravo for this starling and for you! Sincerely, Tatiana

Thank you, Giangiorgio, for viewing and the kind note, ciao Sandor

Thank you, Tatiana, I am glad you like it. Frankly, it puzzles me how starlings and other birds as well are able to catch several insects and keep them together in their beak. I mean catching the second, third, etc. insects, after the first one. Kind regards, Sandor
