First Young

Here's a shot from this morning, it wasn't the first young bird I was expecting to see but made for a nice photo anyway.

It's a young Starling, as usual with Starlings I heard a lot of noise coming from the garden and when I checked it out the adult was feeding two young, I just managed to take a few photos when the camera shutter spooked them and they flew off.

The first shot is the young bird followed by the adult, quite a difference..

Photos taken with Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm @ 400mm

Hopefully I will be able to get some young blue, coal or great tits, fingers crossed.

Mike.

Lots more young to come Mike, if my patch is anything to go by!

I've never seen the young starlings, even though I see the adults from time to time. Great shots!

Hi Mike,
Supere shot! The young are still not there here, at least I did not see any yet!

Get out of my head! I was just about to come visit you and you beat me to it. :-)

Man, you take the best shots. Not knowing much about birds I wouldn't have known that was a young one until you said so and then showed the difference. That's quite a difference now that I'm looking at it.
