Starlings are small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Sturnidae. The name "Sturnidae" comes from the Latin word for starling, "Sturnus". Starlings are native to Europe, Asia and Africa as well as northern Australia and the islands of the tropical Pacific. Several European and Asian species have been introduced to these areas as well as North America, Hawaii and New Zealand where they generally compete for habitats with native birds and are considered to be invasive species. The starling species familiar to most people in Europe and North America is the common starling. (Wikipedia). Camera: NIkon D300S Lens: AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II
