ReplyDeleteHi Marie and thanks, I love to try in flight photos but rare that I ever get them. Stay safe and keep well, Diane
DeleteHi Diane - wonderful to see the various photos ... you do take great ones. Love the starlings - though the others too ... thanks for sharing - take care - Hilary
ReplyDeleteHello Hilary, we seem to have a lot more starlings around this year, I seldom see them, but we have had them in the fruit trees this year and now they are on the lawn. Out walking I am seeing quite a lot as well!
DeleteKeep well. Cheers Diane
I'm enjoying your creatures! The plumage of the starlings is so pretty. But I always like seeing egrets.

Thanks Betty for the visit and also for hosting. Keep well Diane
DeleteSorry it's taken me nearly a week to get here to visit with you Diane...I have no valid excuse either. Love the herons, starlings & all the sweet little birds you've shared. That one robin with open wing is a prize.
