Description:
The European starling is a very social bird found across Europe, Asia, and North America. It is easily recognized by its iridescent plumage, which changes color depending on the light. This bird is highly adaptable, living in both urban and rural environments. The European starling is also an excellent imitator, capable of mimicking a variety of sounds, including calls of other birds and human noises. Its ability to form large flocks makes it an ideal subject for group photography.

Photography tips:
Photograph the European starling using a telephoto lens to capture the details of its iridescent plumage and social behavior. It is best to photograph early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the light is soft and the bird is more active. Be patient and discreet, as this bird can be quite wary despite its social nature.
