Common Starlings still in non-breeding plumage

Common Starling

On 18 September 2024, a large flock of Starling was perched on a tree in the Skink Habitat of Royal Trin Warren Tam-boore. I managed to isolate 2 birds and took this photograph while they were looking in the same direction. It appears that they are still in there winter (non-breeding) plumage. I suspect they will soon change their coat.

Common Starling in their winter coat

Common Starling

The coat of the Common Starling is probably the most beautiful in Winter. This is mean to be their non-breeding plumage. Personally, I think it looks better than there breeding plumage. This photograph was taken on 25 July 2024 at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-boore.

Reviving this site

Common Starling

I was looking for a place to display my photographs. After looking at Facebook, Instagram and other Social Media platforms, I have decided that these platform offers little or no protection for the copyright of these images.

I was originally looking to decommission this site when I rebuilt my server. Given that I have a need to post my photos, I have decided to migrate this site to my new server. Apart from ebird.org, I will be posting the photographs that I find interesting to this site in the future. As a differentiation from ebird.org, I will also post other genre of photography on this site.

The photograph above was taken in the morning of Thursday 2 May 2024 in Royal Park. I like this photograph more than I really should. It is a photograph of an introduced species (Common Starling) occupying a nest box in Royal Park.
