Thanks Adrie,

When suddenly a Starling drops down in front of your lens ,you take pictures and don't think of creating space.
Taken pictures with an 300mm+1.4 converter is a combination you not change quickly.
When there is something to shoot , you do it , and don't change the combination first.
The bird will be gone by the time you are set-up again....;-)
See this pictures as a close-up or portrait from this bird.

Cheers,

Thanks Shelley,
You are write , they are naughty and greedy.
The other day I fill up the birdfeeder with all kind of seeds.
Suddenly a flock of Starling's dropped on it and it was empty in no time.
They chased all the other bird away and where really violent towards the other birds.
This is not an bird with a soft character as you already said , you can see it in the eye?s also I guess.

Cheers,
