Greater Blue Eared Starling. - a photo on Flickriver

            When I was growing up I always viewed starlings as uninteresting dull birds. The species I was used to the Eurasian Starling is a particularly attractive bird when viewed close up, however the Greater Blue Eared Starling seen here is in another league. I would also guess that a this bird was probably a third larger again than the Eurasian Starling.

This particular one was  photographed at the side of a dirt track within the Lake Nakuru National Park.
