I awoke this morning at 5.30 local time, it was almost light and as it got brighter I sat on the balcony with my coffee, birds were around and it wasn't long before I had the chance to photograph a Red-winged Starling. This one was a female which has a grey head and cape. This is an unpopular species here because this early summer they tried to make a nest in the basement garage, making an awful mess. But, I think that this is a nice species and quite photogenic.
