Story from behind the lens: The photography never stops! Taken during a breakfast break during our safari, as we stopped by the shade of a tree we noticed a bunch of these starlings hanging around waiting to greet us. It took some trial and error but eventually I was able to make use of the wide aperture of my lens to create a pleasing background and foreground where the stunning plumage of the bird really pops against the grassy colours.
