Description
This time the elegant shiny black plumage of the Cape Glossy Starling (Kleinglansspreeu) amidst a very competitive presence of very good bird captures this week, did you notice?
A photo can not do this bird justice as it has the most iridescent display when in direct sunlight as well as piercing orange eyes, is cocky and also very vocal.

Great shot Piet, and one I have taken before!!
I think you've captured a great shot of the irridesence on this one - great photo indeed. :)
Superb capture, Oom. He is a glorious fellow. I have his distant cousin's nesting on my roof. I watch them on the wires outside when I am in the bath!!!! I love these cocky little birds. They are mischievous and FUN. Beautiful work from you. Hugs. Di.

Another textbook photography ! Very sharp capture , I love the light on his plumage ! Excellentissime upload, oom Piet !

super Aufnahme
We have "plain old starlings" around here, but they are definitely PLAIN. No colors but black! ...They are "bullies" and seem to delight in attacking other smaller birds. These and crows are about the only mean, ugly birds we have in our area. Trust yours are not so vicious.
Terrific capture. It is so nice to be able to see things from all over the world. I really enjoy being on Renderosity. You do great work. Aloha
wowww, so beautiful picture on this impressiv bird and excellent color !!! Good day and hugs :)
Suberb photography! Bravo! Indeed, many of the last postings did seem to go to the birds! ;)
Great bright on this feathers
A fantastic capture.. I always envy...in a way.. the ones who are able to get those pics
Nice one Piet...love the green color on a feather and a bird deep orange eye!
I think you've captured the lighting on him beautifully. The dark head brings out the orange eye and the sun hitting the tail highlights his colors.
What a variety of bords you have in S.Africa! Another lovely shot. Thanks, Piet.
O YES ITS A BEAUTIFUL BIRD, I MADE SOME AS WELL.....
It sure looks cocky. Love to hear it.
Those orange eyes really stands out. Excellent. Aloha
I say, the eyes do stand out, almost in an arrogant manner. Nice detail and turquoise effect set against the black feathers. Wonderful avian series you're presenting here.
Excellent bird series, love it, bravo!
How cool does this bird look? I love the eyes, they just stand out big time... Great DOF as well mate.. Well done...
