Come in from the rain

This starling shows off his wet feathers as he ducks under our overhang for a mid-day snack.

  3. Hi Val,
    He looks drenched. Great shot of him hanging on the feeder waiting out the rain. Or waiting for some food. Have a great day!

  4. I think starlings always look bedraggled, but even our colourful Lorrikeets look like that as they weather a storm.

  5. I think he wants to come in to warm up! Very nice details in those wet feathers!

  6. Looks like a hairstyle one might see in Vogue or perhaps Popular Mechanics. Reminds me of a slim Elizabeth Taylor for some reason.

  7. Very neighbourly of you to provide shelter and a snack.

  8. Looks like I'd feel, out in a rainstorm! But his feathers dry out quicker than our clothes do. And by the time the sun shines, he'll have forgotten all about the storm. :)

  12. It does look a bit punk, you dot lots of detail in those wet and shiny feathers.
